Although the final scoreline suggests a comfortable win, the contest was only decided in the closing stages. The hosts put up fierce resistance for most of the night, with Milano finally opening up their first double-digit lead in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.
The winning side was led by Leandro Bolmaro and RJ Cole with 14 points each, while Serbian international Marko Guduric chipped in with 12 points and two assists. On the other side, Savion Flagg (17 points) and Davide Moretti (16 points) delivered strong performances, but it wasn't enough to steer Cantu clear of defeat.
Following this round, Milano occupy fourth place in the standings with a 4-2 record, while Cantu remain rooted to the bottom as the league's only winless team at 0-6. Next up, Milano host Trento, while Cantu travel to face Maxima Roma.
