BRINDISI – Happy Casa Brindisi beautiful and convincing in Trieste. On the tenth day of the Serie A championship, coach Vitucci’s men won 66-83 over basketball, repeating the victory obtained last Sunday against Venice. After a slight supremacy expressed in the first half, it is in the third quarter that the guests broke the delay.
Driven by the best Nick Perkins (24 points) of the season, the Stella del Sud gradually increased their lead, which reached +8 in the 26th minute. This was thanks to a careful and aggressive defensive phase and an attack in which Mascolo’s direction shone, increasingly at the center of Vitucci’s schemes, also author of the season’s best performance (14 points). In the last period, no heeling. With personality the Happy Casa placed the decisive shot, flying to +13 in the 32nd minute. The team coached by Marco Legovich, embroiled in the fight not to relegate, didn’t even sketch a reaction. Brindisi, with authority, brought home a fully deserved victory.
Burnell (13) and a Bowman (13) also shone in the splendid evening of the New Basket, who in the guard role confirmed the progress already highlighted against Venice. Reed, on the other hand, was not at the top, who only lit up at times, finishing with 9 points in 23 minutes. Riismaa (5) and Bayehe (4) also contributed. Just one point for Dixson. With this victory (the first away) Brindisi confirms that he can aspire to a place in the Italian Cup Final Eight which will be played in Turin next February. In fact, the Happy Casa occupies seventh place, with 10 points. And next Sunday, against bottom side Treviso, we will aim for the third success in a row.
