Six players scoring in double digits are not enough in Istanbul. Olimpia led by as many as 13 points early in the third quarter, but was unable to sustain its effort. Efes came back strong and finished better, winning 101-95. Olimpia tried to rally in the fourth, but came up short and as a consequence was eliminated from the playoffs. “We struggled against their style of play. They play the pick and roll excellently while our bigs at this time are not capable to cover it. But the key was the third quarter, when we missed some shots easier to make than many shots that they made and we had also some critical turnovers. We played an excellent first half, but small details in the end cost us the game. For three months we had Nedovic in spurts, Gudaitis’ season finished too early because of his injury and that was what decided our EuroLeague season”, Coach Simone Pianigiani said.
