A 0-10 partial for Serravalle in the last quarter was decisive. You also pay for too many shooting errors: the match was within reach

LEINI

Another home defeat for Usac Rivarolo who at the Giovanni Falcone di Leini building in the Serie C gold championship loses by measure (61-64) against Basket club Serravalle, at the end of a hard-fought and balanced match.

For the team of Titto Porcelli the victory fades due to an empty pass in the last quarter when from the advantage of six lengths (50-44 at 32 ‘) they suffer a partial 0-10 for the Alexandrian counter-overtake at 50-54. Then Serravalle also goes to the plus seven at 54-61 with just over a minute until the final siren.

The desperate assault in the last seconds only leads to reducing the disadvantage. The Canavesani have the last possession but the three-point attempt to equalize and send the overtime match does not materialize, losing the ball two seconds from the end.

Usac’s low shooting percentages were a very important factor that weighed on the possible victory. It was a game definitely within the reach of the rivarolesi but the lack of clarity in the key moments was a determining factor. After the first quarter balanced and ended in a draw at 14-14, at the start of the second quarter guests ahead by seven lengths first at 16-23 and then at 21-28 the same margin between the two quintets at mid-match at 29-36.
