Great victory for Gulliver Supermercati Derthona, who in the new setting of the facility of the Cittadella dello Sport “Marcellino e Pietro Gavio” in Tortona took home another two points against Coelsanus Gazzada by 73-67, reaching temporary second place with 4 points while waiting for the other matches still to be played in the second day of Division A of the North-West Conference of the Interregional Serie B.
Uphill start for the black and whites who suffer from Gazzada an initial partial of 5-16 in the first 6 minutes of the game, managing to take, for the rest of the period, only 5 rebounds against Gazzada's 14. In the second quarter the young Lions manage to reduce the disadvantage, increasing the aggressiveness in defense, and arriving at the siren of the end of the quarter at -3.
At the restart of the match, another reaction came from the boys trained by coach Ansaloni, who took the lead for the first time - and for most of the third period - before the opponent's recovery, built mainly in the defensive phase, where the Lombards conceded only 5 points in the final 4 minutes of the period, taking a 7-point lead at the last mini-break.
The fourth period is decisive in favor of the home team. Gulliver takes control of the challenge from the first minutes with a super Andrija Josovic, author of 33 points with 10/16 from the field and 9 rebounds, leading the team to the second success in three games thanks to two triples that sign the decisive overtaking close to the end of the match.
The next appointment with the Interregional Serie B will be Wednesday 9 October, again at home against Collegno Basket, a match scheduled for 21 pm.
