Legnano- Florence 75-80 (18-16; 39-32; 56-52)
Legnano loses under the blows of a convincing Florence. The lack of accuracy in shooting gave space to the Florentine opponents who put the turbo in the last quarter (+13 three minutes from the end). The Knights reacted too late.

Disappointment those expressed by both the president Marco Tajana that from gm Maurizio Basilico who at the end of the game commented: «We must apologize to all the people who came to see us tonight. We played the worst game of the league. We played without intensity, motivation: on the contrary. We had to win. Instead… Now we have to reset: two difficult games await us Omegna and Livorno. We have to take the positive side of this indecent performance: we no longer have to show up on the pitch in these conditions. Everyone’s fault because when you lose it’s everyone’s fault. So let’s all reflect and from Sunday we go back to training with our minds and the desire to play basketball ».
