Sideco Basketball Lamezia claimed its first win of the DR1 basketball championship by defeating Myenergy Pallacanestro Viola 70-67 at the Centro Sportivo in Reggio Calabria, according to lameziainforma.it. The hard-fought victory on the road broke the team’s early-season slide after a difficult outing in their previous fixture.
A Complete Team Effort on the Road
Coached by Piccione, the Lamezia squad maintained an aggressive defensive posture and offensive focus across all four quarters to hold onto their lead in Reggio Calabria. Four players finished in double figures for the visitors: Molinaro, Chiarella, Capuani, and Verso, supported by a broad collective contribution from the entire roster. The final quarter tested the visitors’ resolve as the home side mounted a late push, but Lamezia managed the clock to preserve the three-point margin.
Tactical Assessment After the Final Whistle
“Sicuramente, rispetto all’ultima partita, è scesa in campo una squadra con voglia di riscatto e voglia di vincere,” head coach Piccione stated following the match, pointing to the squad’s aggressive defensive stance and consistent early lead. While satisfied with the defensive turnaround after conceding 59 points in their prior outing, the coach noted that his team should have extended their margin given how the game began. “Il punteggio finale non mi piace, perché con una partenza del genere dovevamo allungare di più,” Piccione added.
