The first few bars are balanced, with the teams responding blow for blow. Drame asserts his physicality under the basket and dominates in the painting, De Simone, back on the field after many weeks of absence, makes his debut in the fifth minute and immediately scores 7-7 in penetration. Tagliano finds the game by 3 points after a partial by Drame and Quercio and the first quarter ends at 12-13.
D’Arrigo warms up and slips 8 at the start of the second fraction, but Savigliano replies point by point. After the outburst of the orange-black playmaker, however, the home attack jams and the guests take advantage of it by taking full advantage of the many laps in the bezel. At the long break, the boys of coach Arioli stretched up to +9.
Tulumello tries to mend in the first moments of recovery. Maccario quickly responds from behind the arc, but continues to push with a strong defense that forces coach Arioli to stop everything on Captain Gile’s -6. Upon returning, the Leopards struggle to find the key to the problem in attack, relying so much on the three-point shot with rather mixed fortunes. Savigliano for its part is concrete and reaches +14 (34-48).
The accounts, however, are far from closed. De Simone and Tulumello take the chair, supported by the audience of the pit of PalaCascinaCapello. Savigliano remains stationary for several minutes at an altitude of 48 and BEA returns to contact (47-50). Baruzzo and Drame from the media remove the lid from the host basket and try to score the decisive draw (48-56 with 5 ‘from the end). A 5-0 Tulumello is worth -3 again, Scalzo serves the Ligurian winger in the area for 56-57 less than a minute from the end. On the overturning in front of Maccario slips yet another, beautiful, triple in the evening, to which De Simone responds by correcting his rebound shot: 58-60.
Savigliano misses the shot by the staff, De Simone collects the rebound 6 “from the end, pushes into the open field and serves Tulumello. The triple that would have sanctioned the victory of Chieri, however, crashes on the iron, with Savigliano who can celebrate an important success in terms of the playoff grid.
THE COMMENT
«We found the right spirit and got the answers we needed from the field – comments coach Vassalli – We can finally count on wider rotations, even if in games like these the not full roster continues to weigh a lot. Savigliano arrived here very well, in great shape, and we kept it at 60 points. There is regret for such a small defeat, but confidence for the next appointments in which to play for access to the play-offs “.
