The fifth consecutive win was a little strange for Olimpia. Against a desperate Virtus Bologna team, Olimpia went down by 11 early, responded, had some quality basketball minutes and still couldn’t dinish the job until Virtus came within one in the fouth period. Then the run was amazing and promising. “But too many players showed faces I don’t want to see around. Some of them were soft. You can miss a shot, you can make mistakes but you have to play tough”, Coach Repesa said. Krunoslav Simon had an amazing shooting night. On top of his 25 points he also was 5/6 from three in the first half. Alessandro Gentile had another total game and Andrea Cinciarini returned to give the team energy, tempo and even rebounds. He played with a protective mask in the first half but decided against it in the second. “The Coach asked me to provide energy and I did. Eventually the shots will go in but it’s the message that count. The Coach asks and the player responds”. Milan Macvan who had an impressive first half had to leave the court in the second with what will probably result as a broken finger in his right hand.
