Reggio Emilia bounced back from its defeat against Tuscania with a superb 3-1 home victory over Castellana Grotte. The PalaBigi arena is becoming a fortress: this is the third consecutive home win and the fourth in five games. Cetrullo shined with 24 points while Dolfo added 15. In the stands, there was also the legendary Bebeto, coach of the Italian national team that won gold in the World Championships 1998 in Japan.
