Cremona made six threes in the period and stayed in the game traling by seven after three quarters. The last period was a devastation. Cremona scored four points, Olimpia built a 15-point lead after four minutes. After Cremona&#8217;s coach Cavina called a timeout, Olimpia placed one more 10-0 run and led by as many as 25 points. &#8220;They play well, they are using all the weapons they have, so I&#8217;m happy for the win. Napier gave us a lift, some rhythm, some scoring and the other point guard, Flaccadori, benefitted from it. The same goes for Devon Hall, who was aggressive offensively&#8221;, Coach Messina said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Napier led the scorers with 16 points, Devon Hall added 14 and Nicol\u00f2 Melli nine. &#8220;We were able to win essentially without the real Shavon Shields. He wasn&#8217;t supposed to play, but asked to help the team. He managed himself not to create problems, but played defense, made the right plays&#8221;, Coach Messina pointed out. The team was without Nikola Mirotic, Maodo Lo and Pippo Ricci. Billy Baron sat the game out. Alex Poythress took a day off, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53416952557_9c95198c7b_k.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shabazz Napier had 16 points in his first game back with Olimpia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shabazz Napier returned to the court where he was successful last season and took immediately the win, scoring 16 points in a 74-51 triumph over Cremona. &#8220;Our defense was impeccable for at least three quarters, our veterans played with great attention,&#8221; Coach Ettore Messina said.
