Regular Season Round 26: Pistoia - Forli 78-73

Date: February 8, 2026
There was a small surprise when nineteenth ranked Pistoia (7-19) defeated at home 16th ranked Forli (9-17) 78-73 on Sunday. Croatian power forward Ivan Buva (207-1991) notched 22 points and 8 rebounds to lead the effort and the former international forward Simone Zanotti (208-1992) supported him with 12 points and 7 rebounds. Pistoia's coach Stefano Sacripanti used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. Even 13 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists by point guard Riccardo Tavernelli (189-1991, agency: SLN) did not help to save the game for Forli. point guard Simone Pepe (184-1993, agency: SLN) added 19 points for the guests. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Pistoia maintains nineteenth position with 7-19 record. Loser Forli keeps the sixteenth place with 17 games lost. They share the position with Cento. Pistoia will meet bottom-ranked Roseto (#20) on the road in the next round. Forli will play against Brindisi (#4) and will have a slim chance for a victory.
