American Karvel Anderson (188-1991, college: RMU) stepped up and scored 23 points and 4 assists for the winners and the former international point guard Lorenzo Saccaggi (188-1992) chipped in 20 points and 4 assists (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field). At the losing side power forward Giovanni Vildera (205-1995) responded with a double-double by scoring 13 points and 12 rebounds and the former international guard Andrea Cinciarini (191-1986, agency: SLN) scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Pistoia maintains eighteenth place with 9-27 record. Brindisi lost third consecutive game. They keep the sixth position with 14 games lost. Pistoia will meet higher ranked Cento (#17) on the road in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Brindisi will play against Puglia (#16) and hope to secure a win.
