A classic preseason antù it wasn’t. In Desio, Cantù won the Lombardia Trophy by prevailing 79-78 over Olimpia in a close-knit battle. It was a fantastic game in the first period, then tehe defenses tried to regain control in the ensuing three quarters. Olimpia took control twice, one in the second period when it went up 45-40 and then in the fourth when the foul shots kept EA7 from gaining a consistent lead. In the end Cantù was a little bit better. Shawn James didn’t play, for many players the conditioning is still not there especially playing the second game in two nights. Olimpia is going to be back on the court on Friday and Saturday in Belgrade against Partizan.
