It took five minutes and one time-out to figure out the best way to solve the game. And Olimpias executed with a terrific 31-point inaugural period. A devastating 8-0 run to close the quarter allowed Olimpia to come back form 11-2 down to six up. The Milano never looked back, the lead extendend up to 25 points late in the third and a last-attempt to rally by Virtus (it came withn 11) was stopped by Oliver Lafayette. Kruno Simon scored 18 first-half points and led seven player in double-figure. It was a dominating game for Olimpia. “We started soft and then we started to be fluid offensively, we created a lot of easy shots thanks to the defense and in spite of being a little bit up and down on defense we controlled the game”, Coach Repesa said. Olimpia closed the deal 101-85.
