Olimpia led most of the game, got away in the third when Alessandro Gentile and Rakim Sanders combine for the first 19 points and won its seventh consecutive game to start the Italian league season. 86-77 the score. Sassari never gave up because of a terrific Darius Johnson-Odom scoring night but never looked threatening while Coach Repesa handled his minutes and used also Simone Fontecchio at the 4 position firmato extended time and rested Milan Macvan and Ricky Hickman.
