The Titano San Marino starts the series against Recanati – Serie C Silver Playoff in the best possible way
They are the Titans starting on the right foot in the playoff series with Recanati. In Acquaviva the match ends 61-42 after an authentic battle, which went through a first half in which it was just up to a second half in which the white and blue attack was dissolved. In the middle there are also errors, but a thousand intensity: they are playoffs and it has been noticed since the two-ball. The fact is that the Titano Basketball closes on +19 and goes to 1-0.
THE CHRONICLE. The beginning? Question and answer, with Peric’s initial triple which has four points from Raschi and two from Altavilla as a return. It remains at 6-3 for a lifetime, but it is not Alcaraz’s first set in the final in Madrid. It is a game with defenses very careful to do the right things and to soil every passing line. The Titans add something from the moon, Recanati goes with a steal + counterattack by Gelsomini and with a daring basket in closing by Chiorri after another recovery. It is 12-7 on 10 ‘and the second quarter continues in the same trend line, with the 21-15 of the interval to explain well what kind of game it is.
The second half opens with the hosts who are more effective in attack and able to go up to +9 (28-19 with good things from Saponi and Altavilla), but also with a Recanati who finds different protagonists and above all three triples with Peric, Palmieri and Chiorri during the third quarter. The Titans respond immediately, do not let go and find rhythm in attack, finishing on +10 at 30 ‘(41-31). On the home straight, Principi and Pezzotti are a factor, but two treble from Fusco put fuel in the Titans engine and Fornaciari’s shot from the average means maximum advantage over 49-36. In a low-scoring game 13 points are a lot, but they even become 16 on Macina’s triple of 52-36 in the 35 ‘. With a defense that has returned to being impenetrable (two sensational consecutive recoveries by Fornaciari), and punctured in the final only by Gelsomini, the Titans fly on an abundant double figure of margin for the rest of the fourth. In attack Altavilla and Macina widen the margin up to the final 61-42. Race 1 ends on the Titan. (Source: Titano San Marino basketball press office)
