This time Olimpia finished the job. Once, it took a consistent lead early in the third quarter never let Baskonia becoming a threat for the rest of the night in a 109-89 triumph. After a first half dominated by the offense (57-56), Olimpia turned the volume up defensively in the third, jumped out to a double digit lead and early in the fourth quarter built a twenty-point margin that was never in doubt. Shocked before the game by the loss fro a few weeks of Josh Nebo, Olimpia took the best out of Devin Booker who scored 21 points, using his shooting skills and strength. But it was a team win, six players scored in double digit and the defense held Baskonia to 33 second-half points. “Consistency throughout the game is all we need,” Coach Peppe Poeta said at the end. “In terms of efficiency we have almost always been there, but not for 40 minutes, not tonight too. But the second half defensively was very good,” he said. Diego Flaccadori gave the team a boost off the bench, scoring 10 points on top of his customary effort. Zach LeDay added 19 points and Shavon Shields had 17.
