Another setback for coach Luca Ansaloni's boys in the 4th day of the first leg of the second Play-In Gold phase of the North-West Conference of the Interregional Series B. Gulliver Supermercati Derthona was defeated in the away match against Consorzio Leonardo Quarrata, who won 74-52.
The match played at the PalaMelo in the town in the province of Pistoia starts with equals for almost the entire first period, Gulliver fooled only by two baskets by Molteni and Tiberti near the end of the period for the 16-13 of the 10th minute. The black and white team suffers the defensive and offensive phase of the Tuscans who open an important break taking the score to 36-28 at half time, thus trying to direct the match in their favor.
No change of direction when returning from the locker rooms with the home team in full control of the match, as evidenced by the +19 at the end of the third quarter, 59-40. The Tortona team tries to collect some points by finding easy shots, but Quarrata is now too far away.
