Regular Season Round 28: Puglia - Fortitudo BO 83-90

Date: February 15, 2026
Very expected game in Ruvo di Puglia where 17th ranked Puglia (8-20) was defeated by eighth ranked Fortitudo (17-10) 90-83 on Sunday. Fortitudo made 19-of-24 free shots (79.2 percent) during the game. Worth to mention a great performance of Lithuanian forward Paulius Sorokas (203-1992, agency: Players Group) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 27 points and 11 rebounds and Croatian guard Toni Perkovic (191-1998, agency: AltusBasket) who added 22 points and 5 assists during the contest. Four Fortitudo BO players scored in double figures. Fortitudo BO's coach Attilio Caja used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. At the losing side American point guard Russ Smith (183-1991, college: Louisville) responded with 20 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists and his fellow American import forward Pierre Brooks II (198-2002, college: Butler) scored 18 points. Fortitudo have a solid three-game winning streak. They moved-up to sixth place, which they share with Rieti and Rimini. Puglia lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the seventeenth position with 20 games lost. Fortitudo will meet at home Rieti (#6) in the next round. Puglia will play against Roseto (#19) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
