Potenza cannot give up The players lost game 1 of the quarter-finals but they will be home with a chance to send the series to a decisive game 3 back in Monza. The latter proved too strong on the serve and in attack, with Padura Diaz top scorer. But the home side is in good spirit, it won its last two home games in the previous round.

“In order to tie the series, we have to play at 100% hoping they will not have a good night – said coach Graziosi – We played a good first set on Sunday and if we had not made certain mistakes at the end of the set we could have been in front. In our PalaPrincipi, we can really make it hard for them if we stay focused”.
