Roseto degli Abruzzi – (Liofilchem Roseto – Torino Basket 69-73) – A desired, hard-fought, sweaty and ultimately won victory. Reale Mutua Basket Torino, after the two bitter stops in Mestre and at home against Rimini, found success on the difficult pitch of Liofilchem Roseto. From the eve of the game we were expecting a tough and insidious match against a team that is at the bottom of the championship, but for this reason particularly hungry for points and which in previous matches had made top-tier teams such as Brindisi and Bologna suffer. And so it was: Torino had to chase the Abruzzo team for large stretches, arguing with their shooting percentages from outside and without being able to count on the usual great production of Robert Allen, who didn’t in the evening with only 7 points on the scoresheet. However, Reale Mutua always remained in the game with character, finding the right acceleration to reverse the inertia and overtake in the decisive quarter. In the final sprint, Teague’s initiatives had an important role (16 points for him), while Roseto was unable to materialize the opportunities to equalize in the final possessions. The final result is 69-73, with Torino once again rising above 50% of victories.
