Sergio Rodriguez scored 16 points and added eight assists, on top of four three-pointers, and set the tempo. Fortitudo kept coming back, with the Tot\u00e8-Ashley combo in the first half and late in the game with Pietro Aradori. The experienced Fortitudo scorer was scoreless in the first half but exploded with a 15-points second half. But Olimpia had the defense to rely on and made the crucial field goals. Gigi Datome (14), Dinos Mitoglou (12 and six rebounds), Devon Hall 813, 3-for-4 from the arc) and finally Shavon Shields who added eight rebounds to his 11 points were instrumental in the win, along Nicol\u00f2 Melli&#8217;s defense and inside presence. Olimpia started slow, but then used some runs, including one in the third quarter to earn a 12-point margin that Aradori almost single-handedly erased. When Fortitudo came withing two, another huge run opened a 13-point lead that was protected for the rest of the game. Olimpia improved to 5-0 in the Italian league. &#8220;It was a tough game on a tough environment, we decided to try to limit Sergio Rodriguez and Shavon Shields playing time. Especially Shields played a chirurgical game, that was why we are glad that we won,&#8221; Coach Ettore Messina said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olimpia was ready to accept the challenge of playing on a short rest&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":-1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[502],"tags":[],"olimpia_common_tag":[],"class_list":["post-35994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news_generali"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35994","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\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35994"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35994\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":141536,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35994\/revisions\/141536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35994"},{"taxonomy":"olimpia_common_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/olimpia.e2net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/olimpia_common_tag?post=35994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
