King Mike James rebounded from the most difficult night of his season to make the winning three-pointer against Efes with one seconds left in the game. Down by two, after Micic missed two foul shots, James patiently waited for the right moment to attack Micic. The Efes’ guard swatted the ball away but James was faster in gaining control, took a look at the watch then launched his winning three-pointer for a 81-80 triumph over Efes, One week earlier he made three foul shots to give his team the win over Khimki. Olimpia played a great game for three period, was up by eight at the half and by 14 after three quarters, but was running on empty late in the fourth, missed some crucial open shots, struggled a little bit at the dfeensive end of the floor, and saw Efes taking the lead finally in the last minute. James tied the score momentarily. With Olimpia down by two and 18 seconds left, Micic missed two free throws letting the door open for another James heroism. And he delivered, again. “We deserved the win after leading the entire game without Nedovic and playing an almost perfect game for three quarters. In the last period we missed some opne shots that we normally make. We’d have won by a large margin just making our open shots, but I’m more satisfied because of the desire that we showed tonight. James had two options in the last possession, he could attack or take a three. When Micic touched the ball, he was great at gaining control and checking the time at the same moment. he saw he had time to take a great shot and he made it”, Coach Pianigiani said at the end.
