Brindisi was red-hot from the outside, long twos, threes, 32 foul shots, had three players score over twenty points and deserved to beat Olimpia 101-92 in a shootout. Milan was a little off, without Cinciarini and Bertans, a little short in the backcourt and with too many bigs but more than anything else the energy level was low and the desire to respons and steal the win at the end didn’t materialize. Olimpia came from 13 to two down but came up short. “They punished us when we didn’t perform, they played a very good game and we were playing at a minimum in terms of energy. But we will return to Milan with some good notes because we refused to lose and one more time we never gave up and tried to win at the end. This time we were short and lost”, Coach Pianigiani said after the game.
