Olimpia did what it was supposed to, winning 83-63 over Pistoia. Milan led by as many as 32 points and shared minutes, shots, responsibilities across its roster, while resting Sergio Rodriguez and Luis Scola. “It was a serious game, they were playing without Justin Johnson and that didn’t help them, but overall we have been consistent,”, Coach Ettore Messina said. Nemanja Nedovic, sho was plagued by foul troubles in the first half, scored 17 points in the second, including 15 in the third quarter. Michael Roll and Jeff Brooks were ready to go early in tha game, but gradually a lot of players helped, and in the fourth quarter Coach Messina gave green light to everybody including 16-year old Francesco Gravaghi. It was the third win in a row in the Italian league for Olimpia, who improved to 5-3 now, “even if our margin for error has been totalized by the three losses that we suffered earlier,” Messina added. Olimpia was without Arturas Gudaitis (“in one month he will be back,” the Coach said) and Amedeo Della Valle.
