Sergio Rodriguez scored in double figure and Troy Daniles had his second consecutive game in double figure. “We were not sharp on the details, we were not consistent in the game. The effort allowed us to win, against a team that Jure Zdovc prepared very well even with all the absences that they had – Coach Ettore Messina said – We take the win, because of course the effort is never taken for granted. It is something you have to be appreciative of, but at the same time, we know we need to raise the level to keep pursuing our goals in this competition.” Olimpia improved to 14-6 over the season.
