Basketball B league, stop on Virtus Pozzuoli court

Setback for Basket B league, forced to chase Virtus Pozzuoli for almost the entire match. In the final, our guys came within a possession of the ball, but were unable to make the winning kick. Final score 73-65 for the team from Campania.

Paccariè’s boys started well, going ahead 8-7. Then, the first empty passage and Pozzuoli, with a 10-0 break, closes the quarter in advantage. At the restart, Pasqualin and his teammates shoot poorly from 3, while the home team scores with ease. They go ahead by 15 and then close the first half on 41-19.

The team raises the intensity and tries to get back in the game: Infante and Martino fight on every ball, but Virtus resists the attacks. A basket by Infante shortens the distance and the third quarter ends 55-40. The comeback continues thanks to the baskets of D’Argenzio and Sanna, with our guys coming back to within 6 at 58-52.

Murri from 3 brings us within one possession, Savoldelli and Balic are lethal and keep the opponents in rhythm. Infante responds from the line, but in the final Pozzuoli is more focused and wins.

Next match, January 9 in Formia at 18:00. Come on guys!
