In spite of being short-handed and plagued by foul troubles all night, Olimpia kept control of Torino’s game prevailing 81-74 with five players scoring in double figure, the return to action of Bruno Cerella and a better execution down the stretch. Olimpia struggled a little early, took a 8-point lead to the half behind an 11-point first half by Davide Pascolo and kept the lead through the end. “It wasn’t pretty – Coach Jasmin Repesa said – we made mistakes and weren’t fluid but with our travel schedule, the injuries winning is not automatic and it was important to stay healthy with the remaining guys”.
