IBertram's dream continues until the last act. The Lions play another extraordinary match and with an irresistible lead overtake Biella (95-79) in the semi-final Piedmont derby, entering the Italian Cup final which will be played tomorrow at 20.00 pm against OraSì Ravenna. It is the second prediction overturned by coach Pansa's team, capable of fielding forty intense minutes of great continuity, bringing home a result of absolute value.
Bertram Derthona starts immediately with the turbo, with a 4/4 from long range thanks to the goals of captain Garri (3/3) and Sorokas (1/1). Tessitori and Ferguson close the gap (14-8), giving way to the return and the overtaking with Bowers' triple (19-20). Sorokas replies and the back and forth continues until 23-23 in the 10th minute and then in the 18th minute (39-36). Alibegovic and Garri score a minibreak that makes it 48-41 at the break, then a blackout in the lighting system leads to a suspension of about 15 minutes. The exit from the forced break was entirely by Melvin Johnson, who scored 12 points in the space of 3 minutes for an incredible +18 (75-57) at the end of the third quarter (78-60 at the penultimate siren). The fourth quarter opens with a score of 0-9 in Biella which brings the lanieri back to a single digit deficit, but five points from Quaglia and shots from Sorokas are worth the new and definitive Bertram lead. The black and white dream can then last for at least another 24 hours.
