When Maccabi came back to within four points, and possession, in the fourth period, Josh Nebo intercepted an alley-oop pass at the rim intended for Hankins, scored on a rebound, and made two free throws. He dominated the game at times, finishing with 19 points and 10 rebounds. When it was time to close the game for good, Captain Shavon Shields step up with back-to-back three-pointers that put an end to Maccabi’s hopes. Olimpia repeated the previous week’s win over Barcelona by defeating Maccabi 96-87, snapping the Israelis’ four-game winning streak and returning to a winning percentage above 50 percent in the EuroLeague. It was a solidly played game, led almost wire to wire. There was a tough stretch between the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second, but then Milan took momentum and built consistently leads that were never decisive but always relevant. Faced with Maccabi’s final onslaught, Olimpia responded by finishing the game with four ball handlers to better match up on defense and gain more dynamism against Maccabi’s zone defense. Olimpia struggled at rebounding the ball against a team of specialists, but in turn, with a colossal Josh Nebo, it frequently damaged Maccabi near the basket and even turned the inside battle around in the second half. “Marko Guduric by the way surpassed the 3,000-point scored threshold. “It was a solid game, one of thebest that we had so far. Defensvely we could have started the game better but the last three quarters were great and we were good offensively, too, sharing the ball well against their zone,” Coach Peppe Poeta said.
