Armani Milan suffered a surprising 75-72 defeat to Verona in the second round of the Italian league on Monday, just three days before their EuroLeague matchup against Maccabi Tel Aviv. The Italian team held a four-point lead in the final quarter, but a 10-1 run by Verona turned the game around. A local Verona publication, Cronca Di Verona, described the victory as "big" for Verona, noting that Milan, despite winning the Super Cup and being a EuroLeague team, missed simple shots and let the game slip away. Marco Gudurić led Milan with 14 points, while Garrison Mathews added 11 and Alex Poythress contributed eight points and four rebounds. For Verona, Mike Tobey scored 13 points and grabbed 14 rebounds.
