The match

D’Alessandro and in the quintet Pavia starts immediately with the match up area that in the final of race one had bothered the Leghorns.

Ammannato, however, has space and punishes from three points to immediately seek the extension (9 – 5, 4 ‘). Lele Rossi is charged and scores the second basket. Di Bella knows that this is an important match and surprisingly he also throws Piazza on the pitch. Salvadori lights up from three, but it is the third basket out of four attempts by Rossi to keep Pavia in the game, looking for his pivot as he had not done in race 1. Di Bella increases the tonnage with Pavone, but Ammannato does not miss a beat (21 – 12, 8 ‘). Torgano and Donadoni, before Marchini puts the triple, with the Livorno players having a 50% from three, while Pavia travels at 25%, (25 – 16, 9 ‘). The defense of Scotti this time is no longer so effective and suffers too much. Torgano (still dry by three) scores from the line and then together with Nasello opens the second quarter, when Saladini sets the triple the game is reopened (27-26, 12 ‘). D’Alessandro responds to Marchini for a challenge now point to point. Many mistakes, before Rossi scores 4 and impacts (31-31, 17 ‘). It is in defense that Pavia has changed its attitude.
