Nico Mannion was huge. Ousmane Diop and Stefano Tonut, too. Winning was the cherry on top of the cake of a beautiful day&#8221;, Coach Peppe Poeta commented on a 99-87 win over Dinamo Sassari in the Italian league at the end of the celebration for the 90th anniversary of Olimpia&#8217;s history.<\/strong> The team started slow, without Shavon Shields and Armoni Brooks was quicky plagued by foul trouble. Sassari took advantage of it and built a nine point lead. Olimpia responded late in the first but found itseld behind by ten points early in the second. Gradually, Mannion (who finished with a double double) led the comeback and a 13-0 run completely changed momentum. In the second half, after a sequence of scoring by Tonut and later by Brooks, Olimpia opened up a 24-point lead that was managed to the end. Sassari was able to come back within eight, but Guduric took over and finished the game for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/55162621659_bf94861f31_k.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nico Mannion right at the rim<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;We started the game a little bit soft but it was expected less&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":-1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[502,496],"tags":[],"olimpia_common_tag":[],"class_list":["post-119324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news_generali","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119324"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":135331,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119324\/revisions\/135331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119324"},{"taxonomy":"olimpia_common_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/olimpia_common_tag?post=119324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
