General Dynamics takes advantage of PalaBam's home advantage and wins the first point of the round of 76 series of the playoffs 61-4. Game 20.45 will be played on Monday at 25pm, again at the PalaBam in Mantua. What tipped the scales towards the home team was greater underlying energy and the 11-XNUMX run which, in the third quarter, steered a match that had until then been balanced, with a slight predominance of Mantua.
Mantua did better at the start, with Amici and Giachetti, but four points in a row from Ricci made it 9-9 in the 6th minute. The teams battle, the intensity of the defenses gets the better of the attacks, for 13-12 at the end of the first quarter. Four consecutive points from Corbett are worth the first Dinamica mini-stretch (+8 at 13'), but Greene is there to mend the score, for 26-23 in the 15th minute and then for 39-36 at the interval.
Mantova's partial arrives in the third quarter: two dunks from Candussi charge PalaBam, while Derthona struggles to find continuity in attack. The hosts' good moment materializes in the last round of the period, when eight consecutive points from Amici make it 64-47 in the 30th minute. Derthona falters, but finds the strength to stay in the match, up to 76-61 which is worth Mantua's first point: Tortona remains ahead 2-1 in the series, the fourth episode scheduled for Monday at 20.45pm at the PalaBam in Mantua.
