He paced Milano in the scoring category on an efficient performance from three point range as the Sekondi native converted four of five shot attempts.
The former Dallas Mavericks player scored five of 10 two point shot attempts but surprisingly had no free throw attempts in the contest. He turned the ball over once in the game.

Bentil was one of four Milano players to score in double figures; the 6 foot 8inch player missed out on leading the entire game in scoring as Sassari’s Logan David scored 25 points.
Milano ranks second in the league standings and takes on league leader Virtus Bologna next on April 10 with Bologna having 20 wins and three losses while Milano has 19 wins and four losses.
