When six players score in double figure, every coach has to be happy. That was Coach Jasmin Repesa’s mantra following the huge 97-73 win that allowed Olimpia to regain control of the series, now leading 3-2 going into game 6 on Monday. In Reggio Emilia.

Olimpia had a devastating, nearly perfect first quarter leading by 21, holding Reggio Emilia at two for 18 – that’s correct two for 18 – and never looking back. Yes, a barrage of three-pointers, a 29-point third quarter allowed Reggio Emilia to get within nine on one particular occasione, but Olimpia never got lost, never lost its poise, kept executing and finally regain the usual huge lead. “I had to call a time-out in the third because we lost a little bit our edge but it was a great win with a almost perfect first half, the approach was great”, Coach Repesa said. Mantas Kalnietis, Rakim Sanders were at the top in consistency terms. Alessandro Gentile set the tone early, while Kruno Simon and Oliver Lafayette closed the game, but everybod gave a lot including Macvan, Batista and a terrific, inspire Bruno Cerella. One more.
