This is why I&#8217;m glad with the win,&#8221; Coach Ettore Messina said. Varese played a physical game, full of energy following Alessandro Gentile&#8217;s leadership. He scored 13 points in the first nine minutes, made four threes for the game, and set the tone. Olimpia didn&#8217;t have the necessary consistency to keep control of the game when it could. Early in the third, built a 10-point lead several times, then let Varese come back. While Gentile&#8217;s second half was not comparable to his dominant first, John Egubnu showed a lot of energy and effort while Varese hot shooting threes kept the game up for grabs. Late in the fourth, Olimpia&#8217;s defense step up. Melli and Ricci made the free throws to extend the lead to six, but Gentile with his fourth three reduced the lead one more time before succumbing. &#8220;We were coming off a Friday night tough game in Vitoria, they were coming off a bad second half in Bologna and I expected a strong reaction, they also recovered their point-guard, so the conditions were leading to a difficult game,&#8221; Coach Messina commented. Nicol\u00f2 Melli was his dominant self, with 14 points, nine rebounds and an impressive +20 of plus\/minus, Devon Hall made his first six shots and finished with a team-high 16 points in spite of experiencing foul troubles early in the game, Sergio Rodriguez gave the team a big lift off the bench, dishing out seven assists for the day. Finally, Ricci and Shields scored some crucial points overcoming somehow mediocre shooting percentages. Olimpia improved to 3-0 in the Italian league, after the win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was tough battle in Varese, but Olimpia prevailed 82-79 in the end. &#8220;Our experienced guys gave us a lift, defensively and with their offensive reading, I expected a tough game for many reasons, and it was.
