SUPER START
–
The blue of Andrea Capobianco start with great intensity and all in all, while going to the long rest under 4 (31-35), they hold the parquet very well. They try to stretch several times on +5 (9-4, 18-13, with the Triples of Pasa and Keys), at the beginning of the second quarter they find +7 (24-17) with an Andre entrance, then they go on tilt. For two reasons: Zandalasini, our star, struggles to light up, and is also well marked, while on the other side McCowan (American with a Turkish passport) makes all his 2.04 heard. Thus, from 22-17 we move on to 28-35 before the triple of Fassina which is worth the very precious 31-35 at the end of the second quarter.
