A late, desperate attempt to steal a win that produced in the end a buzzer-beating acrobatic corner three made by Stefano Tonut. The field goal allowed Olimpia to lose by ten, 98-88<\/strong>, so saving, exactly what happened in Madrid, the point difference. In case, it is important. At this point the third consecutive loss is a huge blow to any remaining post-season chance. &#8220;It was a disappointing game. You shouldn&#8217;t allow more than 90 points in a game comparable to a final and we did twice, tonight and in Madrid. And we allowed to the opposing team guards to do pretty much whatever they wanted. I&#8217;m not pointing fingers to the guards alone, because defense is a team effort, a collective one. We failed in this area and maybe this group doesn&#8217;t have any margin of improvement because it is a year-long story. Sometimes we can play defense and go over our limitations. But against quick, elusive guards or powerful ones we failed. On top of it, when we don&#8217;t have any defensive efficiency, the offense becomes stagnant, we don&#8217;t move the ball enough, we are stuck at trying to play one on one. Finally, the approach was poor. We went down 0-7 immediately,&#8221; Coach Ettore Messina said. Dario Brizuel killed Olimpia&#8217;s defense with an incredible display of shooting ability. The Barcelona guard coming off the bench scored 27 points, 17 in the first half, plus some clutch shooting late in the game after Kevin Punter pretty much controlled the tempo for the entire second half finishing with 25 points himself. Finally, the upcomer Dame Sarr added 13 points, his career high. Olimpia relied on Nikola Mirotic and Shavon Shields, in the end Nico Mannion added something but consistency was not there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/54414688850_a587d5c131_k.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The incredible buzzer beating three made by Stefano Tonut at the end of the game<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The final sequence was eerily similar to the one Olimpia had in Madrid two day earlier.
