Olimpia won the Varese derby for the 8th consecutive time in a strange game that was dominated in the second quarter before Varese put on a great comeback from 20 points down to 61-61 in the third. But Milano was able to respond again regaining a 21-point lead that closed the game. Olimpia had five players in double-figure and had a lot from Davie Pascolo (16 and five assists), Zoran Dragic (19), Kalnietis who stopped Dominique Johnson in the first half and Milan Macvan who played the 5 position almost all night because of foul troubles plagued yhe centers. Finally Simone Fontecchio was very efficient shooting the ball. 98-82 was the final score.
