Regular Season Round 31: Puglia - Forli 87-84

Date: March 22, 2026
There was a minor upset in Ruvo di Puglia where 15th ranked Forli (10-20) was edged by seventeenth ranked Puglia (10-20) 87-84 on Sunday. It was a great evening for American forward Pierre Brooks II (198-2002, college: Butler) who led his team to a victory scoring 23 points. His fellow American import point guard Russ Smith (183-1991, college: Louisville) helped adding 16 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Four Puglia players scored in double figures. At the losing side American center DeShawn Stephens (203-1989, college: SDSU, agency: Slash Sports) responded with 27 points and 8 rebounds and the former international point guard Stefano Bossi (190-1994, agency: Players Group) scored 20 points and 5 assists. Both coaches allowed to play bench players in such tough game. Puglia moved-up to fifteenth place, which they share with defeated Forli. Puglia will meet higher ranked Milano Urania (#13) on the road in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Forli will play against Avellino and hope to secure a win.
