Olimpia survived an impressive shooting first half by Cremona (especially with Elston Turner and Gabe York) and took control in the third period when the defense was finally fixed. Olimpia held Cremona to a 7-point quarter and never looked back gaining access to its third consecutive Supercup final. It’s also the missing trophy. Olimpia won 109-87 led by Kruno Simon 18 points, had a lot of energy from Rakim Sanders and played many minutes with small lineups and two point guards together. When Miro Raduljica had to leave the court with an ankle problem Coach Repesa used Davide Pascolo at the center position. In the first he used Bruno Cerella at the 4. Now the final against Avellino that won against Reggio Emilia 74-72 with a buzzer beating three by Joe Ragland. “It’s a game we want to won – Coach Repesa said – but we need to play defense right from the beginning. They’re good and many of their players have been together for quite some time. It’s going to be a tough one”.
