Bertram Derthona was defeated in the match against Brescia and, after a balanced first few minutes, suffered the opponents' initiatives for a good part of the match. In the third half, the Bianconeri managed to close the gap to just one possession, but Germani's subsequent and new acceleration proved decisive for the fate of the match. Bertram's next match will be Sunday 27 November at 16pm at the PalaEnergica Paolo Ferraris against GeVi Napoli.
Balanced first minutes of the match at PalaLeonessa A2A; then it's Brescia, with three-point baskets from Della Valle and Petrucelli to produce the first break in the match, fueled by the choral play of the team coached by Alessandro Magro. The initial period is closed by Filloy's triple, which sets the score at 22-16. In the second period, Germani continues to find good solutions in attack to expand their margin beyond double figures. In the final stages of the first half, Derthona closed the gap to -11 (43-32) at the break.
Upon returning from the locker rooms, Bertram makes a great effort to get back into contact, reaching -2 (49-47) in the 26th minute, before suffering another break led by Della Valle's baskets, which sets the score at 61-51 of the third siren. In the last quarter the team coached by Ramondino tries several times to reduce the gap, but Brescia maintains clarity, finds baskets from outside and offensive rebounds that guarantee extra possessions, decisive in closing the match, which ends with the victory of the home team for 83-68.
Thus coach Marco Ramondino at the end of the race: “It's not like there's much to say on our part other than congratulating Brescia who deservedly won. We played an extremely inconsistent game for most of the match. We were unable to follow up and materialize the good moments we had in the challenge. We have been living with the ups and downs since the beginning of the season and when the hardness and intensity increase these aspects are noticed even more".
