Bertram Derthona's regular season ends with a defeat (17 wins and 9 defeats overall after 26 days), at the end of a lively match, made up of partials and against partials but balanced in its entirety, resolved only in the final by the coldness in lunette of Udine.
First quarter of energy and attention for the Lions: in the final, D'Ercole's triple at the end set the score at 15-20. At the start of the second half, Bertram widened its gap, thanks to good offensive fluidity, before being overtaken by Johnson (35-33) in the second part of the period.
Upon returning from the locker rooms, Apu exceeded the double-digit margin, reaching +12, before baskets from Fabi and Cannon gave way to Derthona's comeback: in the 30th minute it was 53-52 and the game was more lively than ever.
In the last quarter Udine tries to escape again with three-point baskets in sequence, but Bertram first shortens and then overtakes with D'Ercole two minutes from the end. In the final stages Apu plays the final possessions with greater clarity and takes the victory 68-64.
