Pistoia's coach Nicola Brienza felt very confident that he used 11 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The best for the losing side was American point guard Russ Smith (183-1991, college: Louisville) with 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists and Serbian swingman Vojislav Stojanovic (199-1997) scored 17 points and 6 rebounds.
