Olimpia set a number of Italian league records: most assists in a game (34, 8 by Joe Ragland, 7 by Daniel Hackett, 5 in less than 13 minutes by Samardo Samuels, a career personal high); best shooting percentage from the field, 79.6% (Gentile and Hackett didn’t miss a shot); and the 83.3% from two was the third best performance in history, the best for an Olimpia team. Linas Kleiza put on a shooting show unheard of. He made eight consecutive threes, scoring 30 points in 17 minutes of action. The game allowed Coach Luca Banchi to make Frank elegar debuting in the Italian league while Angelo Gigli found time to make back to back threes in the fourth quarter.
