Olimpia came back from a scaring defensive first quarter when it allowed Alba Berlin to score 29 points, raised the defense intensity level, rode a 91-point effort and won convincingly over the German team. 91-78 was the final score. It was also the fourth consecutive Eurocup win and the first-place clinching win. Kruno Simon had a 28-point effort and Rakim Sanders in his first outing after a 7-month absence scored 12 points and was impressive for his energy and physicality. Sanders was primarily used as a power forward offensively but guarded the smalls on defense. “He can create problems spacing the floor, attacking the boards and using his defensive versatility. He was out for a long time and I was worried but the team responded well” Coach Repesa said.
