After six straight EuroLeague wins, Olimpia lost in Moscow against Khimki 87-79. Olimpia had a terrific 51-points offensive first half, probably didn’t capitalize enough, and in the second half had a couple of tought stretches. In the third there was a 17-0 run that turned a nine-point lead into a eight-point deficit that the team was capable to erase bu the end of the period, tying the score at 65. And another early in the fourth. “The last Khimki run was decisive, we didn’t have the energy to respond one more time,” Coach Ettore Messina said at the end. Khimki had 24 points from Alexey Shved, 17 in the first half, while Jonas Jerebko was a factor all night long. Against him, Olimpia didn’t have the right answer this night. “It’s a game that taught us many things, we’ll use them to work and improve,” Messina added. Olimpia had another great shooting night, 44.4 % from three, five players scored in double figure led by Luis Scola’s 16 points and eight rebounds and Nemanja Nedovic added seven assists to his 13 points effort, but it wasn’t enough. Khimki, who entered the game leading the league in points per game, replicated its 87 points average and won with more consistency, scoring 40 points in the second half too while Olimpia was held to 28.
