It is not a positive moment for Trento, defeated in the cup by a less than stellar opponent and in the championship by Cremona who passes (76-80) at the end of an eloquent last quarter (17-28). The Trentino players made a loud statement for three periods only to lose their way in the last 10′ under the blows of Nikolic (13) and Davis (11). Galbiati’s team thus missed the opportunity to return alone to the top again, moving away from Brescia, defeated on Saturday in Treviso.
Virtus wins the Emilia derby, Milan by a landslide
Virtus Bologna climbs behind the first two, catching Trapani in third place by winning the Via Emilia derby (57-69) in Reggio. A grumpy match with a low score, decided in the final by Belinelli (19 points) and the excellent Juventus defence. Trapani, for its part, fails to reach the top, losing 91-82 to Venice against a Reyer in great form. In the wake of Virtus, Milan remains, which leads (82-115) to Pistoia. At the PalaCarrara Olimpia takes a while to get their act together and then in the third quarter they score an eloquent 35-21 which closes the score prematurely. Forrest (24) alone doesn’t hold a candle to the comparison, Brooks (28) responds.
Varese conquers Sassari, Scafati bows to Trieste
Lastly, a golden victory for Varese in Sassari (81-86). The Sardinians run at full speed in the first quarter then the technical rate of the Lombards comes out and turns the situation around and resists the final lockout of the blue and whites. Scafati loses in overtime (107-110) against Trieste. Devastating first quarter for the yellow-blues (31-17) then the Giulians slowly climb back up to prevail in overtime. For the Campania team 30 points from Rob Gray with 10/15 from 2 and 29 from Stewart. As many as 49 rebounds were captured by the guests with Uthoff and Brooks finishing in double doubles.
