Napoli will be Bertram Derthona's opponent in the LNP Italian Cup semi-final scheduled for tomorrow at 18pm. After a difficult first quarter, the Lions progressively improved in the rest of the match, guided by Fabi's play and a high-level defense.
Complex first quarter for Bertram Derthona, who fails to find feeling with the basket and ends up trailing 6-14 in the 10th minute. In the second half the Bianconeri improved in defence, forcing some opponent turnovers and found more fluidity in attack. The first half is closed by Mascolo's basket, which gives Bertram the first lead (26-25). In the third quarter Derthona widens its margin thanks to sequences of triples from Fabi and D'Ercole: in the 30th minute Leoni ahead 50-45. In the last quarter Bertram lands the decisive blow to the match thanks to the usual Fabi and the coolness on the line: it ends 70-58.
