Bertram Derthona returns to success, leading the match with authority from the first minutes at the Beta Ricambi Arena PalaMangano, taking advantage of the high shooting percentages from outside. The 56 points scored in the first half, maximum in the club's history in the regular season in Serie A, steered the match in favor of the Bianconeri, who then progressively widened their gap and achieved their eighth victory in the championship. Macura and Christon, in double figures, and ten players scoring, seal two well-deserved points.
First period with very high scores for Bertram, who finds great continuity in her three-point shooting (7/9, 77.8%) to take control of the match right from the opening bars. Macura (11 points in the quarter) and Daum inaugurated the scoring for the Bianconeri, who then found in Candi and Christon the other great protagonists of the opening ten minutes which ended with a score of 22-32. In the second half the team coached by Ramondino pushed further on the accelerator, expanding their margin and clearly controlling Scafati's comeback attempts: the Bianconeri ahead 38-56 at halftime.
Upon returning from the changing rooms, the match continues on the same tracks: Derthona continues to find great offensive fluidity and has an important contribution on both halves of the pitch from all the players used. At 30' the score was 50-80. In the last fraction Bertram manages the large margin accumulated previously and prevails 72-91.
Thus coach Marco Ramondino at the end of the race: “We are and must be very happy with this victory, born from a really good performance on both sides of the pitch. From me, therefore, congratulations to our players. Scafati is a team that has grown and changed a lot in the last month: we were impressed by their ability to make few errors during the match, to be disciplined and good at executing their game system. It was therefore important to play a match that equalized their solidity, and we managed to do this very well for all forty minutes.".
