Pallacanestro Trieste wins at PalaRadi: salvation party postponed for Vanoli Cremona

With a 15-4 partial in the first half of the last quarter, the Trieste basketball moves to PalaRadi postponing the salvation party of the Vanoli Cremona. A complex match for Brotto's men, always chasing after the heavy 23-18 suffered in the first quarter, capable of making their voices heard only at the beginning of the second half. The die is essentially cast with a 4-point advantage over Scafati and Pistoia with two days still scheduled, but Cremona will have to suffer at least until forty minutes from the end of the championship.

Trieste confirms itself to be from another planet, dragged by the former Olimpia Milano Denzel Valentine and from the wing Jarrod Uthoff. It's not a Trevor Lacey factor, as suspected Godwin Omenaka arrived too late to give a hand to Brotto's team, behind Christon, Willis, Davis and Nikolic there is little, given that even Owens is unable to make the difference under the basket. It is precisely on the rebound that the difference comes, the 20 offensive at home are a figure that leaves no escape at these levels; 18 for Christon and 14 for Willis and Davis at the siren. Thus the challenge with Pistoia, in Tuscany, next week becomes decisive. Estra, after a disastrous season, on the last day managed to rekindle a faint hope of salvation by winning sensationally in Venice.

VANOLI CREMONA-BASKETBALL TRIESTE 81-101 (13-28, 37-52; 67-72).
