Second consecutive victory, the third consecutive away and the fifth in the last six for a Viola who continues to win and convince. Ingrosso and his companions have the best without too many worries on a Formia that loses the comparison in all four quarters compared to the neroarancio, orphans of Duranti.
FIRST FOURTH
Viola starts immediately concentrated at PalaVirtus, with the neroarancio who lead the first quarter of the game without too many worries, moving forward on 14-24 after the first 10 minutes. There is no Duranti at Viola, out for a problem with his hand, and then it’s time for Alberto Besozzi, author of something like 9 points in the first 6 minutes of play. A cold drop for Viola at the end of the first period, with Yande Fall’s ankle injury forced to limp off the floor.
SECOND FOURTH
Second quarter decidedly more balanced than the first at PalaVirtus, with the Meta taking advantage of the momentary absence of the three and five owners of the Viola and manages to remain glued to the challenge, going to the long interval at -12, with the luminous scoreboard that reads 33 -45 in favor of the neroarancio. On the shields there is now Franco Gaetano in the Viola house, author of several important baskets in the painting.
THIRD FOURTH
Try to get under Formia after returning from the long break, with Di Rocco’s team going up to -8 with Tilliander’s triple from the middle corner. The Viola is not there and relies on the inspiration of Amar Balic to bring themselves back to the double-digit advantage in the match. He grits his teeth and Yande Fall is also back on the court, Viola will even be the maximum advantage at the end of the third period.
LAST ROOM
Viola still updates her maximum advantage and reaches +19 at the opening of the fourth period. The garbage time in Lazio can already begin, with Bolignano’s men keeping Di Rocco’s Orange at a safe distance and taking home the match at the final 59-75. In the last two minutes of play, Vittorio Lazzari’s important return to the parquet for Viola, away from the fields for exactly two and a half months, is worth noting.
