Comfortably sitting on top of the Italian league, Siena had a tough night in Treviso and could have suffered a surprise defeat (77-79). In the end, one basket was enough to go back home with its 11th victory in 12 game. “Congratulation to Siena, they deserved to win – said coach Repesa – but congratulations to my boys as well because they played with the right determination and will to win”. Greg Brunner led all scorers with 21 points (+9 rebounds) for Treviso, while Bo McCalebb and Rimantas Kaukenas had 13 apiece for the Italian champions.
In Biella, close away win too for Cantù, which hangs on to its second position. Roma, Avellino and Teramo prevailed at home.
