Piacenza had the better of the Italians champions of Modena on a 3-1 score behind some solid work at the net (5 blocks for Yosifov). Hernandez had another big night with 18 points, he finished top scorer of his team for the third time. Double figures as well for the two Cubans Hierrezuelo and Marshall with 12 and 11 respectively.
