For the fifth date of the Federal League, Celeste received a visit from Ceibo de San Francisco and achieved a great local victory by winning 99-75.
The match began with a good role for the locals, an intense defense that allowed them to run and score. On the part of the visit, it started dispersed, except for some attacks from Lozano. Averaging the quarter, and thanks to Conti (11), Celeste took a 5-point lead. However, Santo’s managed to equalize thanks to good defensive pressure. At the end, the income from the Nine bench gave freshness to the pressure and closed the quarter 27-23.
The first few minutes of the second set developed under an intense game of friction, which generated inaccuracies in both teams and the score did not change too much. In the middle of the period, the Nine got points in the paint, but again at the hands of their outsiders. Garcia did damage with his penetrations and Conti kept up his good level, reaching 22 on his personal score. In the final stretch the advantage was extended and the first half ended 46-34.
The third period followed the course of the previous minutes. The local caused errors in the visit and ran to get 12 in the absence of seven minutes. The temperature rose in the stands and somehow carried over into the game. Lots of turnovers. Celeste began to play a little more with their interns Robledo (12) and Marcos, not only scoring but also passing the ball and making play to get a difference of 20. At the end the visitors reacted with good actions from Lozano and Rigada to bail 69-56.
The last part maintained the same dizzying pace. Silveira took some prominence, but it was not enough to shrink. For the locals, there was a good income from the young Caraffa and with 4 minutes remaining, Nueve was up again by 20. With the match defined, the benches of both teams were rotated and the youth closed the final 99-75.
