In its fourth game over a seven-day span, against the best possible competition, with the same eight-player rotation plus Lorenzo Brown to help as he can at this time, Olimpia was beaten 87-72 by the defending champions of Fenerbahce. The margin was not indicative of the game story. Olimpia trailed for the entire night but kept coming back and was down by one entering into the fourth quarter after two consecutive three-pointers made by Shavon Shields. A 7-0 run by Fenerbahce broke the game open for the last and decisive time. Olimpia attempted again with Armoni Brooks’ three and Quinn Ellis penetrations, but overall Fenerbahce’s physicality, size, defense and this time hot shooting doomed any chance. “Their switching defense forced us to play one on one all night and the result is just 11 assists. It was our best offensive game but give them a lot of credit. They are the champions and showed why. I expected a low-energy game but the guys surprised me again fighting very hard to the end. Only regrets is that early in the game we had a few open shots that we missed. We could get some confidence making them early but we didn’t,” Coach Poeta said. Olimpia went 2-for-11 from three in the first half, then managed to make six threes in the second, but Fenerbahce shot 50 percent on threes, led by Bonzi Colson, Talen Horton-Tucker incessant drives and they got the deserved win.
