Second consecutive victory for Fortitudo which brings home an important success in view of the end-of-year match against Pesaro
Christmas marked by continuity for the Fortitude which is given away second victory consecutive and begins in the best possible way a period of important challenges. This time it is the one who falls at PalaDozza Toastsjust demoted from the upper floor. It ends 77-65 for the Effe that domina from the first to the last minute and seems to have found herself after the alarm bell rang with the defeat a Piacenza and brings home an important challenge both for morale and for the rankings. Quattro men end up in double digit led by Freeman with 15 points but the engine of the game is captain Fantinelli who even distributed 16 assists. It is immediately clear that the weapon chosen by Fortitudo to take over the match is the three-point shot with Bolpin which dictates the law for the 11-3 which becomes a robust 16-7 shortly after despite the three fouls committed by Freeman which excludes him from the race for several minutes. They also hit the mark Gabriel e Cloths: at the first break the blue and whites are deservedly ahead 20-11.
The Effe jammed for just a few minutes
In the second period it is still Mian to uncork the basket but two nice solutions also arrive Battistini for the first escape of the evening at 34-20. There Effe and jams for a few minutes, Brindisi goes back up but think about it Cloths with two triples in a row to give his team a good lead for 41-33 at the long break. Upon returning to the field Freeman he shouts loudly at the basket but preaches in the desert and so Brindisi closes the score to 47-43. Two baskets from Mian are fresh air for the blue and white lungs who once again thank Freeman for the new extension beyond the double-digit lead. At the last interval, however, the scoreboard reads 58-48 and the race is still open.
Party at PalaDozza
Il fourth foul by Fantinelli risks compromising the evening but another triple from Panni gives new energy to Effe who also enjoys a three-point game from Bolpin to keep at a distance Toasts. Aradori twice from three points brings the blue and whites back to +13 then Captain Fantinelli takes care of scoring the points that kick off the PalaDozza party. However, they will be holidays dedicated to football for Fortitudo who will be back on the pitch in Pesaro on the 29th for another very important challenge.
