Basketball Serie B, Luiss slips in the trip to Imola

Basket B league withstands the impact for a quarter, struggles in the second, falls in the third and recovers points in the final, before falling on Imola’s parquet 78-60. Low percentages from outside and too many lost balls cost the defeat.

In the first quarter, the team defends well against the opponents’ accelerations and closes down by 4. In the second quarter, Barbon and then D’Argenzio show that the team is alive. Our team believes and goes ahead 21-20. Imola, however, doesn’t give up: closes the defense and starts scoring with continuity. The partial score is heavy and the home team goes 40-25.

Jovovic, Pasqualin and Tolino score important points and Luiss goes back to -9. Imola plays good basketball, Cusenza and Carnovali score threes that hurt us. The coach rotates his players and tries different solutions, but with few results. The partial in favor of Imola closes the game already at the end of the third quarter.

In the last fraction, Luiss with heart and grit saves the result. It ends 78-60. Now we need to go back to training immediately in order to react at our best.
