Olimpia’s heroic performance against the European Champions from Fenerbahce came up just a little short. It was a great night with a bitter ending. Just like in Moscow one week earlier, Olimpia played up to the top European level, gaining a five-point lead in the second quarter and coming back from 10 down in the second half. With a furious rally, Olimpia tied the game with seven seconds left off a Vlado Micov fantastic three that forced overtime. Olimpia had a 2-point lead in the extra-time, and Micov three from the corner a short time later was in-and-out. It was probably the crucial play. Olimpia lost 92-86 after a great night, with Amath M’Baye and Dairis Bertans leading the scorers with 16, Jordan Theodore dishing 7 assists to go along his 15 points and the team capable to go over Fenerbahce’s defensive focus on Andrew Goudelock.
