Zach LeDay made 10 straight free throws, so Olimpia overcame also Kevin Punter&#8217;s injury early in the third quarter. &#8220;They tried to control the tempo, to prevent us from running, the used the shot-clock every single time and did it very well &#8211; Coach Ettore Messina said at the end &#8211; In the second half, our defense won the game for us, but we moved the ball well, too, building good looks. The negative aspect is Kevin&#8217;s injury on top of Vlado Micov and Malcolm Delaney problems.&#8221; Gigi Datome had an oustanding first half, capped by a buzzer-beating four-point play. Kyle Hines led all the rebounders with seven, but he scored also 12 points. &#8220;We are still coming together, looking for the right chemistry, but we won the game defensively, that&#8217;s what I liked &#8211; LeDay said &#8211; In the first half we scored a lot of points, but we gave up too many of them.
