Olimpia dominated its game with Treviso, taking control early and never let the guard down, so the opponent never stood a chance to compete. The final score was a commanding 85-55 lead, with Coach Messina able to share the load across the roster, giving playing time to all the players and limiting the effort of some key players, including Nicolò Melli, while Sergio Rodriguez was out, resting. Shavon Shields led the scorers with 15 points, while Gigi Datome had 11 points over 11 minutes. Pippo Ricci added 13 points and eight rebounds. “I’m happy, we played a good game, coming off an exhausting stretch when we played basically everywhere. The fatigue was there. We played well, however, we were able to limit the usage of some veterans, and many guys gave us good minutes, take a look at Davide Alviti for example,” Coach Ettore Messina said. The only bad news took place in the fourth quarter when Paul Biligha received an accidental hit in the ear region of his head and had to leave the game for good. He reported a concussion, has to rest for a few days, but he was at home by the end of the evening. Olimpia improved its Italian league leading record to 9-0.
