Legends Win in Pistoia and Conquer Regional Division 1 Playoffs

The regular season of the Legends, which in the 15th and final day of the return leg of the championship Regional Division 1, are imposed on Pistoia 60-69 (partials 16-17, 22-30, 45-45). Prediction respected for coach Guglielmo Rossi's team who after having risked not entering the grid playoff, had subsequently conquered it with a day to spare thanks to the defeat of Castelfranco.

After a balanced first quarter that the guests close at +1, the Carrara team pushes in the second quarter, closes the defense and without overdoing it, with a partial of 6-13 they go to the long break at +8. The Legends return to the field relaxed and the locals take advantage with a partial of 23-15 to close the third quarter in perfect parity. The game is decided in the last quarter: the Carrara team wants to close well and with a convincing partial (15-24) they close at +9, pushed by a Donati in an evening of grace (30 points and 13 rebounds for the pivot).

The success in Pistoia allows the yellow and purple to improve their standings at the last minute: they go up to 32 points and, thanks to the defeat of Cerretese (which remains at 30 points, defeated 85-71 in Rosignano), they finish in seventh place and in the playoff quarterfinals they will face Pescia who finishes second despite the unexpected home defeat against Invictus Livorno.

The score: Donati 30, Fontanelli 4, Canciello 10, Borghini 7, Ferla 5, Benfatto, Diamanti 6, Leonardi 7, Donnini.
