EA7 Armani Exchange Milan's (3-9) nightmare continues as the Italian team suffered its 8th loss in a row.

This time Ettore Messina's team suffered a 77-90 (22-13, 20-20, 17-19, 13-20, 5-18) overtime defeat against Panathinaikos Athens (6-6).

Dwayne Bacon was unstoppable for the Greens as he accumulated 31 points (9/12 2PT, 2/8 3PT, 7/9 FT), 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 2 turnovers, 5 drawn fouls, and 28 PIR.

With 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the visitors had a 7-point lead (72-65), but Panathinaikos made a final push.

Paris Lee made a jumper, Bacon sank a 3-pointer, while Georgios Papagiannis finished an alley-op slam and, with 7.2 seconds left, tied the game at 72. Both teams couldn't find the basket during the remaining time, and the game went to overtime.

Once again, Panathinaikos played the crucial stage better. Bacon made a difficult jumper, Paris Lee sank both free throws, while the former NBAer made another basket from deep, and with 39.3 seconds left, Panathinaikos extended their lead to 8 points (83-75).

Panathinaikos: Dwayne Bacon 31 (9/12 2PT, 2/8 3PT, 28 PIR), Paris Lee 22 (3/7 2PT, 2/7 3PT, 10/11 FT, 26 PIR), Derrick Williams 9.

Olimpia Milan: Naz Mitrou-Long 16 (2/5 2PT, 3/7 3PT), Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot 15 (3/8 2PT, 3/4 3PT), Brandon Davies 13.
