Montepaschi Siena won game one of the final. Benjamin Eze (207-C/F-81, college: S.Idaho JC) was the mvp of the game scoring 12 points, grabbing 8 rebounds and adding 5 blocks. Siena defended very well in the paint: Virtus Bologna had 13/42 by 2p.. Vidivici resisted very well: at the beginning of the 4th quarter Dusan Vukcevic (201-F-75, agency: Interperformances), Guilherme Giovannoni (202-F-80, agency: Interperformances) and Brett Blizzard (191-G-80, agency: Octagon, college: NC-Wilmington) invented a 14-4 rally to tie the game 68-68. But Terrell McIntyre (175-G-77, college: Clemson), the top scored of the game with 22p., closed the game for the 1-0.
