Good away win for Derthona against Cus Torino (team that occupies third place in the group): the great physicality of the Turin team allowed them, in the first period, to propose a pressing defense which made the formation's offensive patterns more complex black and white. In the remaining quarters of the match the guests imposed their own pace on the match, winning 52-60. It was an excellent team performance, on both halves of the pitch, which must be a stimulus to better face the rest of the tournament.
