Bears Derthona Basket 66 Bermè Reggio Calabria 50

The postponement takes place at PalaOltrepo: Viola needs certainties, after returning to victory in Codogno against Casalpusterlengo, while Derthona, today without captain Simoncelli, wants to continue to stay in the areas that count in the ranking with the aim of making your camp an impregnable fort.

Coach Cavina fields the usual Spissu, Marks, Reati, Brooks and Garri, while coach Benedetto starts with Lupusor, Costa, Crosariol, Dobbins and Rullo given the absences of Spinelli and Freeman. In the first minutes the match is as balanced as it is full of errors both in shooting and in the setup phase with both teams struggling to move the net; Crosariol tries to turn on the guests with the +4, but from here Reati and Marks twice put in three heavy bombs that put the Bianconeri ahead. The orange-blacks don't change pace and the first quarter ends at 18-12. The Piedmontese no.10, however, is unleashed and his other 5 points lead an 8-2 break that brings the hosts to their first double-digit lead with Brooks and Spissu writing the +13; the guests played at one speed, failing to score even with their best shooters and starting to lose important balls. The Bianconeri with Reati and Brooks sprinted to close the first half at 38-23 with Cavina also fielding his unders and achieving a good impact.

 

Upon returning to the field, the trend does not change, in fact, Derthona continues to fly up to 20 points ahead, with the feeling of being able to easily control the match; in fact, only Crosariol manages to really worry the Juventus defense. The hosts extend their lead in a match that is truly never in question: the gap reaches 54-31 at the end of the third quarter. In the fourth quarter Rullo tries again, but it's up to Brooks and Garri to immediately turn off the lights in a long "garbage time". It ends 66-50. Now two consecutive away games for the boys from Cavina: Casalpusterlengo and Biella and in the meantime the team enjoys a well-deserved third place in the standings with a record of 7 wins and only 4 losses.
