Acqua San Bernardo Cantù – Tramec Cento: 77-84
BUSTO ARSIZIO – A match that highlighted the unrivaled splendor of basketball. A game made up of partial and partial counters, of continuous feats, especially in situations of shooting from three points by Cento, with a special mention for Tomassini, given on the eve of half service due to back pain, to complicate things in addition to the Moreno’s absence, but that didn’t prevent coach Mecacci’s formation from showcasing a sparkling but profitable game, from the first to the last minute.
On the other hand, great disappointment for Cantù who pays for the start of the match and a decidedly subdued recovery, the half hour not for Nikolic and Rogic and without coach Sacchetti being able to resort to the substitution for Berdini, absent due to injury.
Hunt’s performance was also affected by the lack of supplies from the Croatian point guard, who, however, also contributed his own.
Commendable and leader, Bucarelli, the only one of his capable of restoring lost courage and putting the team back on track, capable of recovering 14 points in 4 minutes.
Well done Cantù to recover two disadvantages; Cento was even better at making a third, decisive one, in the final, with Tomassini definitively killing the game, half a minute from the end, with his ninth personal basket from long range.
