After a shocking start, o-7, looking eerily similar to the previous night game, Olimpia was effective at the defensive end of the floor, moved the ball, shared the responsibilities and won, convincingly. Five players scored in double figures, four players grabbed five rebounds, Nicol\u00f2 Melli was instrumental with his defense (including a terrific block on a Jacob Pullen&#8217;s three) and energy; Alessandro Gentile made the smart plays in the second half, attacking the paint and getting to the line where he made all his 5 attempts.
