Cordier 7 (in 25' 2/6 two-pointers, 1/2 three-pointers, 3 rebounds, one steal, one turnover, 7 assists) An all-round performance for him who defends, scores with reasonable consistency and dishes out a good number of assists, putting himself at the service of the team.

Holiday 6 (in 19' 1/1 from two, 0/4 from three, 2 rebounds, one steal, one assist) He participated marginally in the black and white party, but beyond the 2 points scored at the end, he confirmed his reactivity.

Belinelli 6,5 (in 15' 1/3 two-pointers, 0/2 three-pointers, 4/4 free throws, 3 rebounds, 2 turnovers) Positive performance for him who plays little, but who contributes in the first half to widening the gap.

Payola 7 (in 18' 0/1 from two, 1/2 from three, 4 rebounds, one steal, one turnover, 5 assists) Ivanovic lets him rest for a long time, when he is on the court he shows and also scores a nice three-pointer, not exactly his specialty.

Clyburn 6,5 (in 17' 3/6 from two, 1/1 from three, 3 rebounds, one steal, one turnover, 4 assists) Good performance for him who always confirms himself as an important factor in attack.

Hackett 6,5 (in 20' 0/1 from two, 2/3 from three, 3 rebounds, one turnover, one assist) He starts and to his usual defense he adds two great threes, confirming his clear recovery.

Morgan 7,5 (in 19' 2/4 from two, 2/4 from three, 6/6 from free throws, 2 rebounds, 2 steals, one turnover, 3 assists) He seems to have found his dimension. As a guard more than a point guard, his shot really hurts.

Polonara 7 (in 17' 1/2 two-pointers, 1/2 three-pointers, 2/2 free throws, one rebound, 3 steals, one turnover) Pure energy and points for him who starts in the quintet and gives a great contribution to the team. Three steals in the first quarter confirm the good evening.

Diouf 7,5 (in 18' 3/7 from two, 5/6 from free throws, 8 rebounds, one steal, one assist) Points and rebounds giving an excellent contribution under the basket.

Zizic 8 (in 18' 8/9 from two, 1/2 from the free throw line, 2 rebounds, one turnover) The masked man stands out for his excellent offensive performance. The final 17 points confirm his great day, but he also stands out as a factor in defense.

Akele 6,5 (in 14' 1/2 from two, 3 rebounds, 2 assists) Positive performance, without overdoing it.
