Fenerbahce used all its size, power, physicality to overcome Olimpia 89-70. Milan tried to compete, was even good in spurts but in the end didn’t find any consistency shooting the ball from the outside. 8 for 31 from three including 3 for 16 from the designated shooters was too big of a burden. Vlado Micov had an outstanding 18-point game, Kaleb Tarczewski survived two early fouls to bounce back strong finishing with eight rebounds and Andrea Cinciarini replacing Jordan Theodore at the point had a very good game dishing seven assists but it wasn’t enough against the European champions (Jason Thompson made seven of his eight jumpers). “Obviously it was a tough night for us without our starting point-man but we tried to resist defensively against an array of difficult mismatches. On this court, against this team to have a chance to compete you have to do better shooting the ball. Besides when they got away in the second period we had some crucial and unforced turnovers that cost us a lot”, Coach Pianigiani said after the game
