Ricky Hickman had an outstanding first quarter, scoring 13 points to keep Cremona at distance and lead Olimpia to a 86-78 win. After Hickman set the tone early many more guys picked it up like Andrea Cinciarini who was full of energy at the end, Davide Pascolo and Abi Abass. Olimpia was not capable to close the game out early but was never really threatened in his pursuit of win number 20 in the regular season getting closer and closer to clinch first-place.
