After a dominating first half, when it led by as many as 16 points, Olimpia struggled in the third, affected by ineffective three-point shooting. Brindisi took the lead, extended it by as many as seven points while Milano looked disconnected for a while. When it touched the bottom, Olimpia responded with a 9-0 run. The last seven minutes were a battle, but the defense once more won the game. Brindisi was held to 11 fourth-quarter points, while Shavon Shields and Devon Hall made the right plays, Nicol\u00f2 Melli grabbed a huge rebound and also Malcolm Delaney made a big three in an otherwise terrible shooting night for the team. Olimpia shot 5-for-32 from three, and that affected a 56.8 percent night from two and a 15-for-16 free throw shooting display. &#8220;We played very well in the first half &#8211; Coach Messina said &#8211; then we got nervous in the third quarter, we lost the flow of our game because we couldn&#8217;t hit a shot, ball circulation was insufficient. Then, we played a great fourth period, doing the little things that won the game for us, we made our free throws, we made a couple of threes, we got the rebounds.&#8221; Olimpia won the rebounding battle 45-36 and five players scored in double figure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BOXSCORE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Happycasa Brindisi-Olimpia Milano 67-72 (15-21; 27-41; 56-51)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brindisi:<\/strong> J.
