Olimpia took the game over very soon and cruised to a 101-74 win over Pistoia that included a double double by Kaleb Tarczewski and a buzzer-beating three by the youngster Giordano Bortolani. Olimpia wanted the win, obtained it while shooting better from the perimeter, improving its zone-offense, using all the regulars even in different positions. Olimpia ended the game with no center on the court while David Pascolo showed a lot of activities around the basket. Vlado Micov regained the form that he had before the injury and evenrything was smooth “with the exception of Jordan Theodore absence”, Coach Pianigiani said. “We did what we asked them to do, even a couple of different things defensively so it was a good game for us – Pianigiani said – Now we go to Venezia and we will play for the first place but in reality is a game that won’t change much. Both teams are obviously more interested in approaching the post-season in the best way, first or second place won’t affect us much. It has a relevance only if we go to the finals, against them and the series will last seven games. It’s a lot of ifs”.
