In anticipation of Sunday, Vanoli wins a sharp and not beautiful game, but as they say in these cases, these too are worth the two points.
Hosts without Cinciarini and Olisevicius and rotations that inevitably suffer, as both teams seem to be affected by the unusual schedule given the series of errors in the first quarter. When the players on the pitch finally break up, they do it in jerks, then Cremona scores an 8-0 and Reggio responds with a 9-0. Then the game is channeled towards the guests who command it throughout the first half, in particular thanks to Pecchia’s 16 points, who scores from all positions, especially with high energy plays. For Reggio the energy is given by Bonacini, necessary to turn some bolts in Reggio’s defensive mechanisms and Stephen Thompson, author of 7 points in the first 20 minutes of play.
In the second half, Reggio found the strength to go on at 23 ‘, but it was a continuous push and pull with Cremona who re-extended and then again got 47 to 2 minutes from the end of the third quarter. After yet another escape from Vanoli, Thompson misses the free throw of the draw one minute from the end, while Cournooh on the other side puts a very heavy triple. Yet it would not be over yet because after Crawford’s minus two, Cremona takes his second consecutive offensive rebound and still punishes Unahotels. The finale is 58-64 for Vanoli.
