Second success for Bertram Derthona in the White Group: against GeVi Napoli the Lions had a good impact on the match, commanding it from the start and making the decisive move upon returning from the changing rooms. Five players in double figures for the Bianconeri: Mascolo (16 p), Cannon and Sanders (15 p), Tavernelli (11 p) and Fabi (10 p). The next match of the team coached by coach Ramondino will be Sunday 9 May at 18.00 pm in Scafati, on the first return day of the second phase.
Positive start for the Lions (9-0), who find fluidity in attack and consistency in defense: in the 10th minute the score is 18-8. In the second half Napoli tries to close the gap, but Bertram - relying on Cannon - maintains a safety margin (32-25). Upon returning from the locker room, Derthona again leads the pace of the match, finding in its two Americans the main finishers of the attack: a four-point play by Sanders seals the maximum advantage (59-43 at 30'). In the last quarter, baskets by captain Tavernelli and Mascolo closed the game definitively: the final score was 83-62.
