Home defeat for Bertram Derthona, who chased their opponents right from the start against Bergamo. At the beginning of the third quarter, the Lions had an impact on the match with Mascolo's triple, before suffering a new – and decisive – attack from the visitors.
First quarter uphill for the Lions at the PalaOltrepò: Bergamo controls the operations right from the start thanks to great percentages from the field (15-27 at 10'). In the second half Bertram increases her intensity on both halves of the pitch and reduces the gap to -5 (36-41) with which the first half ends, closed by Mascolo's triple. In the third half the Lions made an impact on the score, before the new guest attack led by Easley and Zugno: in the 30th minute it was 50-56.
In the final period Derthona tried, but Bergamo did well at keeping their nerve, repelling any attempt by Ramondino's boys to reverse the inertia of the match. It ends 62-73.
For today the company has decided that no one will speak.
