Editor's Note: Detroit Pistons small forward Luigi Datome is playing for Italy in the 2015 EuroBasket Qualifying tournament. Currently, Italy is in the second qualifying round.
Hey all Italy played its 2nd game for the 2nd round Qualifier. Gigi had a nice bounce back from game 1, this time scoring 15 points on 6-10 from the field and 3-5 from beyond the arc. He also had 3 boards and 3 assists to go along with 2 turnovers and 2 fouls. Italy would beat Switzerland 90-60. Now the caveat, Switzerland was playing without arguably its best player, PF and 2014 1st round draft pick Clint Capela, who was out with a sore groin and who had 11 points 7 boards 5 steals and a block in Switzerland's first game against Russia. Italy is now 2-0 in the qualifier with 2 more games, and they will be playing Russia again on the 24th.
Also if you'd like a rundown of Gigi's first game.
