Olimpia won the exhibition game against Tofas Bursa 87-83 and it wasn’t nothing like an exhibition game because it was a lot more like a battle, with defensive intensity, physicality and a lot of toughness was demanded in order to win. In spite of playing without many regulars including Cory Jefferson, who’s nursing some minor injuries, Olimpia was really good for many minutes and built a 15-point lead late in the third. But it didn’t have the stamina to paly 40 minutes at a really high level and let Tofas to get back in the game. So the closing minutes were a battle that Olimpia won riding many differnt guys, although Amath M’ABye looked like he had more energy than anubody else. Very promising was the game by Zoran Dragic at least in the first half. Valdo Micov had a 11-point second half and Andrew Goudelock made the decisive field goals at the end.
