After several attempts to get away, leading by as many as 10 points in the second half, with two minutes left in the game, Olimpia found itself tied at 82 with Trento. Give them a lot of credit of coming back time after time in a game Olimpia led from wire to wire saved one possession in the third quarter. And when everything was on the line, Nikola Mirotic came up big. First, he was fouled on a post-up play and made the ensuing free throws. Then, he forced Zukauskas, who has a 11-point second half, to take a prayer from the corner that missed badly. Finally, he made a huge three from the top of the key capping a 5-0 personal run that essentially closed the game for good. Olimpia managed to prevail 89-87. “We had a good game for 30 minutes out of 40 despite several limitations in how to use our roster, because Mirotic and Shields were going to be monitored. Unfortunately, we had moments when we didn’t come back defensively quick enough, we had a couple of forced shots, some turnovers or defensive mistakes. The result is that we built some leads and reliquinshed them regularly. But we led for the entire game basically. Trento is a tough team and they play well including tonight. Dimitrijevic came back after some good practices and helped a lot. caruso helped a lot, too. This is promising,” Coach Ettore Messina said at the end.
