“We have shown that we are in the series even in the first two games in Rimini, in addition to the two victories obtained at PalaPentassuglia. We have no desire to go on vacation” explained Bucchi again, who is aiming for a result that was difficult to predict on the eve at least because of the positions in the standings at the end of the regular season, with Rimini finishing in second place and Brindisi in thirteenth, 14 points behind.

In game-1 and game-2, played in Romagna, Rimini won 88-84 and 78-67, while in Puglia the biancoazzurri won 59-57 in game-3 and 66-54 in game-4.
