Olimpia raised the pedal from the metal in the fourth quarter but this time it was a win because the first periods have been spectacular in a 87-84 triumph over Barcelona. “We played the best three quarters of the entire season, defensively and offensively, we shared the ball, we had 20 assists, we were almost perfect. Then, we let the car go sideways, we struggled against the switching defense, and became stagnant against their size. It is a lesson to make treasure of. But we defeated a great team and played marvelously for 30 minutes and this time it was enough,” Coach Peppe Poeta said. Olimpia held Barcelona to 17 points in each of the first three periods. It struggled a little to control the defensive boards, but was relentless in pushing the ball and attacking the rim. On top of it, everybody helped. Building a 12-point lead at the half, Olimpia exploded late in the third quarter with Zach LeDay playing another surgical game and Leandro Bolmaro taking over at both sides of the floor. In a superb sequence, he fed Josh Nebo for a close-range bucket, stole the ball and converted a lay-up, made a three. When Armoni Brooks hit an incredible three at the buzzer, Olimpia led 78-51 going in the fourth. That was when it stopped playing. Barcelona hit some great shots especially with Tomas Satoransky. But fortunately what was built earlier was enough to get the win.
