  • 7 May 2021

Basket B league goes out defeated by the difficult trip to PalaCalafiore in Reggio Calabria: on the field of the Viola, it ends 91-75 for the hosts.

The team finds Bonaccorso again, but loses its captain Andrea Martino. Viola starts off strong, playing its offensive basketball running and shooting well from the arc. Infante has a hot hand and ours stay in the slipstream on 16-10. Sanna makes an inspired -5, but Viola hits with continuity and closes the first quarter 31-17.

Paccariè’s quintet tries to raise the defense and the hosts lose their hand a bit. Infante scores 38-31 and the team gets closer. Pasqualin and Sanna also score some nice baskets, and it’s back under at the end of the third quarter.

Bonaccorso pulls 8 consecutive points out of his hat and brings us to -8. Mascherpa and Salvatore, however, give oxygen to the home team, which tries to run away again. Our team is tired and can’t come back: the siren says 91-75.

Now, decisive week for the last race of the clock phase: Saturday at 18 will be played the recovery against Bisceglie. A challenge that tastes like a playoff, because whoever wins goes to the playoffs.

Come on guys, we are with you!
