The premiere of the Italian playoffs had a surprise in store for us. With a brilliant Mike Green leading his team in scoring and assists, Venezia defeated Cremona on the road and “stole” the home-court advantage!
With 21 turnovers Cremona gave away many scoring opportunities to the team from Venice that now has the upper hand in the series. In the other games of the quarterfinals, the hosts had no problems making the 1-0 against their opponents.
