The focus was on the debut of Denzel Valentine, a former NBA star, who was very effective – he scored 13 points in 18 minutes and proved that he could be a crucial component in Ettore Messina’s lineup towards the end of the season.
Shavon Shields led the team with 20 points, while Shabazz Napier added 18 (6/8 from three-point range). For the visitors, Sek Henry stood out the most with 20 points.
