Anwil Włocławek lost 79:83 to Legia Warszawa in the first game of the semifinals. On Friday the Rottweilers want to take a revenge!
That was by far the best game of the playoffs. Anwil couldn't reduce the difference for the whole game, but six seconds before the final buzz James Bell've made his first 3-pointer that night (0/5 before that moment) and equalize.
In the overtime Bell've made more important shots (e.g. from the distance, which built Anwil's advantage - 79:73). Unfortunately, Robert Johnson - the leader of Legia - also made some huge shots. The opponents made 10:0 run in the last 90 seconds and eventually won.
James Bell was Anwil's best scorer. The small forward had 23 points, four rebounds, two assists and a steal.
Legia leads the series 1:0.
