Despite the many absences, Olimpia came back from 12 points behind and won in Venezia because of an outstanding effort in the fourth quarter, 74-69, closing the regular season on a high note. Devon Hall joined Sergio Rodriguez, Malcolm Delaney and Nicolò Melli among the players not available, while Shavon Shields (11 points) and Kyle Hines (12 points, 6 for 7 from the field) returned and were crucial in the win. Olimpia used Trey Kell (12 points) and Tommaso Baldasso (12 with five rebounds and five assists) at the point, stayed close throughout the game and took over late in the third. “During the first half, they scored 15 fastbreak points, but in the second half we kept them from running and won the game,” Coach Ettore Messina said. Olimpia will start its Italian league playoffs next weekend against Reggio Emilia.
