Turnovers really cost us the game because when we needed to score after a stop we returned the ball and they scored on us. We average 9-10 turnovers per game, we had 18 tonight. Way too many. Give credit to the Trapani defense but my feeling is that they were mostly unforced turnovers,&#8221; Coach Ettore Messina said. Olimpia shot the ball better but Trapani attempted more shots because of turnovers and also offensive rebounds. &#8220;We&#8217;ll improve with Josh Nebo playing more, in a much better condition, and tonight we didn&#8217;t have Ousmane Diop,&#8221; Messina pointed out. With the loss Olimpia slipped down to the fifth place and we&#8217;ll start the playoff from behind. &#8220;We know every series will be hard, every potential fifth game will be played on the road. So, it will be tough. We&#8217;ll prepare for this,&#8221; Messina closed. However, Nebo return looked promising. He struggled early in the game, with the foul situation but looked more and more comfortable during the course of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54495367517_7a45490910_k.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Armoni Brooks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last ditch effort to get home court advantage for the playoffs first round fell short in Trapani where Olimpia lost 89-81.
