AX Armani Exchange Milan bounced back from a loss to Anadolu Efes Istanbul two days ago in rolling past the reigning Turkish Airlines EuroLeague champs 90-62 at home in a friendly game. Efes had defeated Milan 83-95 on Thursday but the Italian side gave up just six points in the third quarter to grab the win in the rematch. Both teams were missing key playes as Malcolm Delaney and Nicolo Melli were out for Milan and Shane Larkin and Tibor Pleiss did not play for Efes. Shavon Shields led all scorers with 17 points with Dinos Mitoglou tallying 15 points and Devon Hall scoring 12. Filip Petrusev was Efes’ leading producer with 11 points.
