BASKETBALL: PALESTRINA PASSES AT PALALUISS

LUISS holds 2/4 before collapsing under the triples of Palestrina.

Second setback of the team of coach Paccariè who finds Marcon after the injury, but fails to stop the fireballs of Palestrina and is surpassed at home for 93-73.

First quarter balanced where the triples of Rossi and Rizzitello responded to the flashes of Faragalli and Gellera. Infante made more mistakes than usual and Palestrina closes the first quarter 21-19.

Palestrina continues to score from every corner are The expliotes of Bonaccorso  keep Luiss in touch. Martino fights under the basket and finds important points, but Palestrina is a basket machine. First half ends Luiss 42 – Palestrina 52.

At the beginning of the third quarter Luiss tries to push more with Faragalli and Bonaccorso and twice arrives at -8 but gives up a bit ‘in defense and Fiorucci who joins Rossi and Rizzitello, puts in 5 points and brings Palestrina to + 18.

Luiss is on the ropes, the gap is too wide and practically fails to return to the game. There is room for some good ideas from Rota.

Next commitment Sunday 16 in Matera at 18.00
