Nicolò Melli set the tone early, he was in attacking mode since the jump ball. Olimpia followed his lead and won convincingly 85-65 in Pesaro. The game as close only between the first and second quarter, but late in the second Olimpia built a significant lead that only grew in the second half. The fourth quarter was essentially pointless. “We didn’t shoot well from the perimeter in the first half but we kept building open shots. The second half was better. Controlling the boards was another factor of the game,” Coach Ettore Messina said at the end. Olimpia had five scorers in double figure, led by Shavon Shields who had 17 points and went 4-for-4 on twos, Devon Hall was all over the floor. Flaccadori, Melli and Hines scored in double digit. Flaccadori particularly came back from a struggling first half to be decisive in the third quarter with back-to-back threes when Olimpia successfully attempted to get away.
