Now it’s Game 6 time and Olimpia is finding itself in an uncomfortable position, with the back to the wall after losing at home 72-68. Siena led almost from wire-to-wire. Olimpia took the lead briefly in a couple of times, led by four in the third after a Cerella’s lay-up and a Langford’s three, but Siena responded with a 7-0 run, regained control of the game and extended the lead early in the fourth riding the energy of Othello Hunter. Now Siena is leading the series 3-2 with game 6 at home where it is unbeaten in the Finals since 2004. The game will be played on Wednesday, while Game 7 if necessary will take place on Friday in the Mediolanum Forum. “We are well aware of how difficult is going to be in Siena but still we have one more game to play and we need to maintain our concentration in order to come back here for Game 7”, Coach Luca Banchi said.
