Olimpia had a very strong game in Malaga, was capable to get away three times only to see Unicaja coming back, and back and back. But finally the defense did just enough to buy the time necessary for the offense to get out of a slump and provide the three consecutive threes that won the game. Two from Linas Kleiza and one from Joe Ragland. But it was once more Alessandro Gentile to lead the team especially in the first half and again in the third quarter, attacking the defense and going to the line. Nicolò Melli shot himself out of a difficult first half with a great second half. but it was total team effort, including Hackett’s motor, Joe Ragland passing, Brooks scoring. 84-77 the final score, for the first EA7 win of the Top 16.
