Against Pistoia, the young forward played a mentally tough game because he committed three fouls early but never flinched and then started to play really well. He scored from downtown, he attacked the board, he also dished some assists. He was everywhere while Olimpia played a fluid offensive game, distributing the minutes among 12 players. Kruno Simon and Andrea Cinciarini weren’t available because of flu-like symptoms, six players scored in double figure, Alessandro Gentile eight assists in less than 15 minutes. 104-70 the final score for win number 9.
