The Italian league regular season is coming to and end in Cremona. Olimpia is facing the last game holding a fist-place tie with Virtus Bologna. However, the tie-break is in Bologna’s favor, so in order to finish at the top Olimpia won’t just need a win in Cremona. A Bologna’s loss at homes against Trento is necessary, although not likely to happen. A win in Cremona would clinch at least the second-place and home court adavantage for the first two playoffs’ rounds. Olimpia in entering this game after winning 13 of the last 15 Italian league games and on a six-game winning streak. Nikola Mirotic, although on a restricted diet of playing time, will return available. Essentially, Billy Baron is the only player out for medical reasons. Cremona is a good team, though. “On their court, they have been able to beat of make life miserable for any team in the league. They can create shots playing collectively and we’ll need to move the ball well against their defense, man-to-man or zone,” assistant coach Mario Fioretti said. Tip-off time is at 18:15 in Cremona.
