It wasn’t a pretty win for Olimpia because the shooting percentages were horrible. Ice cold from the arc, 2/19 from three with both makes by David Moss in the fourth period, Olimpia was unable to close the deal until late in the third. But it was a win and a commanding one, leading wire-to-wire, taking no chances, holding Roma to 56 points and 2/25 from three. Samardo Samuels led all the scorers with 18 points, attacking the basket with aggressiveness. Alessandro Gentile set the tone early, creating for himself and his teammates too: he had 4 assists in the first period when he also surpassed his father Nando on his way to become the number 30 scorers in Olimpia’s history. Nicolò Melli was a presence on the boards and MarShon Brooks, in spite of being himself ice-cold from three, was capable to take the offensive load when it counted the most. For EA7 Emporio Armani was the 20th win in a row and clinched the first place in the standing.
