Pesaro-Trieste, the match
In the first quarter coach Ciani ranks as starting quintet: Sanders, Banks, Mian, Grazulis and Delia in place of the absent Konate. It is played on the edge of balance; the marchigiani try to escape on several occasions, driven by an inspired Sanford and by Jones’s physicality under the basket, but Trieste is good at replying blow for blow. The red and white with an insistent action by Banks, the best of the Allianz in the offensive phase, find the 11-12 just over 2’00 “from the siren. On the other hand, a triple from the expert Delfino brings Pesaro to 16-12 at 1’12 “but a dunk by Mian sets the result at 16-14 after 10 ‘.

Pesaro goes back but the Allianz, thanks to a bomb from Grazulis, returns to -1 at 31-30 before Sanford’s triple which signs the 34-30 with which the two teams return to the locker room.
Back on the pitch Pesaro further increases his pace of play, finding continuity in attack and arriving with a bomb from Delfino at 45-37 after 6’10 ”. Trieste tries to remain attached to the train thanks to the perimeter danger of Delia and the determination of the collective. In the last two minutes the hosts hit again from the arc with Delfino and Sanford. The third quarter ends 54-47.
In the fourth period Pesaro does not stop, continuing to alternate shots scored from 6.75m to services under the basket for the usual Jones. At 4’10 “from the conclusion the home team flies to +10 on 64-54 but once again Trieste does not fit and closes the gap up to 64-59 at 3’25”.
