Virtus-trapani 101-96
–
After an initial study phase, Virtus gives the first real shoulder to the game, taking advantage of a very hot Clyburn (16 points at 20 ‘). The bianconeri, especially in the early stages of the game, are skilled in alternating the internal game, exploiting the greatest size of his long ones, and the perimeter danger, thanks to the triples of Morgan. The Segafredo also touches the +13 at the start of the second period, but undergoes the return of Trapani, which returns to -5, pushed by Eboua’s energy and some sprays of Notae. After numerous exchanges of partials, it is the hosts who close the first 20 ‘in the lead (47-37), thanks to the triples of Pajola and Shengelia, as well as a couple of baskets of the usual ex Ephes. Upon returning from rest, Ivanovic’s team is looking for the definitive tear, with an 8-0 partial, built by beyond the arch with Hackett and Crondinier. The V-Nere seem master of the game and also touch +18. However, the Sicilians refer below with Robinson, Notae and Galloway and return to -9 at 30 ‘. In the last 10 ‘the game returns in total balance, with the free of the aforementioned number 5 guest, which makes 2/2 in the bezel. Eboua sent two drills forward, Akele responds with the triple of +1, but the double zero of Repesa draws in the bezel. The basket of the former, Alibegovic, remains 2 points ahead of the Sharks. On the other hand Cordinier marks the 89 peer basket, practically at 40 ‘, which is worth the overtime. After a great balance also in the extra, it is Crinier’s play to deliver the two points and the first place in the regular season at Virtus.
Cremona-Tortona 94-99
–
After the six scorching defeats in a row suffered that they kept Tortona away from the playoffs, De Raffaele’s team consoles himself at least in this season ending by beating Vanoli, already saved from the last day. Bertram passes to Palaradi thanks to a solid performance near the painted opponent, who adds up to the triple of vital. Willis and Nikolic keep Cremona for large sections of the race, also worrying Dertha in the third quarter, but is not enough: despite an unexpected partial produced by the Under-19s available to Coach Brotto, Vanoli gives way into the final.
Cremona: Nikolic 17, Willis 15, Burns and Christon 11
Tortona: Vital 21, Gorham 14, Kuhse 12
Reggio Emilia-Pistoia 86-72
–
Good victory for Reggio Emilia, although little changes for the men of Priftis: with the success of Trieste yesterday’s success against Dinamo, there were no hopes to climb the ranking beyond seventh place. It is the tonnage of Faried that drags the UNHOTELS, which definitively sows the relegated Pistoia to the turn of the third and fourth period. The Triples of Forrest could give the Estra championship final a slightly less bitter flavor, but it was not so: the Tuscans will start from A2 in the next season.
Reggio Emilia: Faried 22, Smith 15, Barford 14
Pistoia: Forrest 17, Cooke 12, Paschall 9
Milan-Scafati 100-72
–
Milan closes its regular season with a victory in front of her audience, sweeping away a Givova who greets Serie A with the eleventh defeat in a row. The game in fact lasts a quarter, the first, with Scafati pushed by Miaschi and Cinciarini: the resistance of the Campani, however, melts in front of the superiority of Milan, which brings six players in double figures and runs away between second and third quarters (54-30 the partial). Messina grants wide rotations to her, with a little apprehension for Mannion: the former Varese came out after 3 ‘for an ankle problem.
Milan: Nebo 12, Flaccadori 11, Bolmaro 10
Scafati: Miaschi 19, Anim 10, Cinciarini 10
Brescia-Treviso 114-91
–
It ends in celebration at the Palaleoness, with Brescia who becomes overwhelming in the fourth period and exceeds a fighting Treviso, hitting its record of victories in one season (22). Still, the Nutribullet starts strong and stays in the game until the end of the third quarter, led by Olisevicius, but Brescia comes back with the usual shot of 3 (18/30) before the fourth fourth offensive show. Ivanovic first and Burnell then inflame the rhythm and Brescia runs away in the final, with a sensational 38-16 partial in the last 10 ‘which is worth the victory and third place in the standings.
Brescia: Ivanovic 24, of Valle 18, Dowe 17 Treviso: Olisevicius 25, Bowman 14, Mascolo 14
Venice-Varese 83-64
–
Reyer closes the strip of three consecutive defeats and looks for the shock in view of the post-season: if he wants at least to worry Bologna in the first round of the playoffs, a different attitude will be needed from that shown during this season finale. Kabengele dominates the area of Openjobmetis, Venice wins the fight in rebound (43 collected against the 21 opponents) and so the Spahija team gives a show to the Taliercio overwhelming Varese who, after remaining in the wake for three quarters of the race, raises the white flag in the last period.
Venice: Kabengele 22, McGruder 13, Simms 12
Varese: Alviti 16, Akobundu-Ehiogu 11, Librizzi 9
