Lusa Basket Massa successfully overcomes a tricky away game in San Giuliano Mare against Sg Tiberius, a team that had started well in the league with 4 wins in a row, but had collected as many defeats in the last 2 games. On the other hand, a clear path for Massa, who returns to the top together with the Faenza Basket Project, already victorious on this championship day.
It starts with Orlando, Spinosa, Pietrini, Delvecchio, Brignani for Lusa Basket Massa, while Magnani, Ferrini, Mazza, Neri and Campajola are the players chosen by the local coach Brienza.
The guests start off immediately and surgically dissect the defense of the hosts, with an initial run of 9-2; Delvecchio, Spinosa and Pietrini pull Coach Panizza’s group, charging the Rimini team with fouls after just six minutes of play. The locals move to a 3-2 zone in an attempt to break the rhythm of Lusa Basket Massa, but the initial guests don’t feel the difference, on the contrary they widen the gap; only towards the end of the period there is a drop in pace, but the biancoblù still offer quality plays (such as the previous dunk on the counterattack by Delvecchio) with a good two-man game finalized by captain Asioli, who fixes the score on 27- 12 for Massa and with La Sg Tiberius clinging to the points of Campajola and Mazza.
In the second quarter, Lusa Basket Massa finds it more difficult to attack the home defense, and Massa’s solutions in this situation are not very concrete, with Delvecchio finding the first team point on a free throw after 3 minutes of play. The locals get closer with a break signed by Accardo and Mazza, with the Sg Tiberius players who increasingly attack the Massa defense one-on-one and Del Fabbro scores six points in a row. Massa scores a total of ten points in this quarter, with markers Delvecchio, Spinosa, Ugulini and Asioli, and we go to the field change with Lusa Basket Massa leading 37-26.
In the third quarter, Tiberio continues with her defensive set-up, while Massa finds the offensive edge of the first period, even if there is room for improvement in defense. Errani’s entry gives liveliness and concreteness to coach Panizza’s team, and the guests find points after points, playing as a team with the usual suspects (Spinosa, Delvecchio and Pietrini) and with the spectacular buzzer beater of Asioli from three points which establishes the score 41-61 after 30 minutes of play.
There isn’t much to say in the last quarter; Spinosa has a personal “bathtub” at his disposal and scores a repetition, well supported by Ugulini and Delvecchio; in the last minutes of the match Lanzillotti and Berardi enter, with the former making 2/2 from the field with a table shot and one with a very high parable, scoring his first points in the championship and preparing for next week’s dressing room celebrations. It ends 82 to 53 for Lusa Basket Massa, who after a rocket start managed to contain the flashback of the premises, before putting the turbo back on and closing with a large margin of advantage. The numbers tell of a super Delvecchio with 22 points, 8 fouls suffered, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, an excellent Pietrini with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, a very concrete Spinosa, with 21 points (7/11 from 2) and 5 fouls suffered, and a good contribution from the entire Massa team (32 rebounds overall, 20 fouls suffered, 15 assists and good shooting percentages from the field).
