A 3 for 21 three-point shooting nightmare doomed Olimpia in game 1 of the Italian league semifinals against Venezia. Reyer had five players in double figure and rode a 28-point third quarter to get away and win 84-77 in spite of a late attempt to comeback led by Rakim Sanders. Olimpia started the game.well talkng a 11-3 lead and was still up by five at the half. But in the third for seven minutes almost itbdidn’t score and early in the fourth found itself down by 17. “We didn’t have the right level of concentration and most of our choices were wrong. We lost our poise, we didn’t male open shots and got nervous. But not making shots is not a reason to be bad defensively too. It’ a long series and I’m still positive but our quality of game and concentration must be higher” Coach Repesa said.
