Strangely Firenze outrebounded Naturhouse Ferrara 96-82 including 35 on the offensive glass. They shot the lights out from three nailing 53 long-distance shots on high 77.9 percentage. Naturhouse Ferrara players were unselfish on offense dishing 29 assists. They brought some defensive toughness making 23 blocks. 85 personal fouls committed by Firenze helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. The best player for the winners was guard Michele Ferri (191-85) who scored 17 points and 4 assists. Guard Gabriele Spizzichini (194-92) chipped in 11 points. At the other side the best for losing team was point guard Alexander Simoncelli (188-86) who recorded 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists and Croatian guard Damir Rancic (199-83) added 15 points respectively. Four Firenze players scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Naturhouse Ferrara moved-up to second place, which they share with Matera. Newly promoted Firenze keeps the fifteenth position with 14 games lost.
