Morelli Memorial in Legnano: Treviglio mocks Tortona on the siren
Championship starter in Legnano and Treviglio wins the final against the home team by mocking our boys with a basket 2 seconds and 25 cents from the siren.
Tortona got off to a fast start with Tavernari scoring 10 points in the first three and a half minutes, then Henderson scored 11 and the first quarter ended 33-16.
In the second quarter Tortona's percentages dropped slightly and Vertemati, coach of the Lombards, found something with two triples from Turel and closed the gap to -12.
Tortona is still in control but now Treviglio is more present and reaches 55-59 before Henderson brings it back to -8 (68-60) at the last mini-interval.
Last quarter is the real game, the referees also enter the scene with two technicians (one for each side) and we go to the final point to point. Rossi scores -1, but Valenti's tap in brings Tortona back to one possession.
Turel scores the free throws for -1, but a sensational error by Rossi denies Bergamo's first lead of the match, which however arrives shortly after with Marusic at 83-82 with just 2" and 25 to go.
Tavernari tries the winning shot but misses and Treviglio is the first finalist.
Today final for third place again at 18pm against the Lugano Tigers.
