It took 25 minutes and a 25-point deficit for Olimpia to shake itself and play some typical Olimpia basketball on its way to an epic comeback that generated a 89-87 win over Darussafaka. Coach Repesa used a smallball lime-up featuring Dada Pascolo as a nominal five. He scored 15 second half points inspiring the team. Rakim Sanders made a couple of huhe threes and his offensive rebound converted in a 3-point lead down the stretch was decisive. Kruno Simon also was instrumental in the rally with 8 consecutive points. Olimpis used mostly Kalnietis at the point during the monumental comeback with Simone Fontecchio at the three giving energy and enthusiasm after his first EuroLeague start was honored with an 8-point first quarter.
