In Varese, it needed a field goal made in the end to prevail, but the last attempt &#8211; a legitimate one by Nico Mannion and a desperate prayer by Leandro Bolmaro &#8211; failed to find the bottom of the net. So, Varese won 94-92. <\/strong>Olimpia trailed for the vast majority of the game, fell behind by 16 at one point in the third quarter, when a 9-0 run gave the team a chance to come back. Struggling to find rhythm at both ends of the floor, Olimpia somehow reduced the margin to one on a superb corner three made by Armoni Brooks, who led the scorers tied with Zach LeDay&#8217;s 19 points (LeDay had also 14 rebounds). Olimpia rested Nikola Mirotic for this game along Fabien Causeur. Josh Nebo is still out with an injury. &#8220;To win these games, on short rest, coming off a road game on Friday, we need help from everybody. Unfortunately, from this perspective, we are struggling,&#8221; Coach Ettore Messina admitted. In the end five players scored in double digit and as a team Olimpia went 26-for-28 from the line and shot over 40 percent on threes, but it  didn&#8217;t move the ball well (only 13 assists), shot under 45 percent on twos and never find a serious way to stop Varese&#8217;s high-pace style with some exceptions, early in the second half and late in the game. Not enough. &#8220;Our first half was poor &#8211; Coach Messina said &#8211; The second was better, when we returned to place Zach LeDay at the 5, surrounded by four perimeter players, but three consecutive ill-executed possessions cost us the chance to win a game that Varese deserved.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54205968446_11b2743f49_k.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nico Mannion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another short-rest Italian league game proved to be fatal for Olimpia.
