More than the full belly from the victory in the Italian Cup, the full infirmary is the real cause of the collapse The T Gema Montecatini Technique a Ruvo di PugliaWith rotations reduced to the bare minimum, Del Re's team is close to perfection for over two quarters, then the vertical collapse due to tiredness with Rajola's team taking advantage of it in the long run to take the match as well as a piece of second place.

The report. Ruvo suffers a lot at the start: T Gema immediately places a 4/4 three-pointer and takes a two-possession lead (6-12). Another 6-0 partial, this time entirely made in the painted area, even brings the Terme advantage to +12. Musso from the bench gives breath to Crifo Wines again but with the entrance of Stanic the Montecatini attack starts to turn at a thousand again. The guests seem to have control of the situation at least until two three-pointers in succession by Reale first and then Conte bring Ruvo back to -6, Borra begins to magnetize any ball that gravitates under the backboards and thanks to his tower the Apulians earn an infinite number of second possessions, however only half exploited. The rossoblù remain ahead thanks to the centers of the very inspired Burini and Stanic and despite the 50 points at the long interval they can also complain about a couple of golden chances not exploited by Bedin.

D'Alessandro gives illusions with the triple of the new +9 La T Gema, because then comes a Ruvese break of 11-0 with Borra still decisive thanks to which Crifo Wines puts the arrow for the first time. Ruvo begins to defend seriously and for Montecatini finding the way to the basket becomes prohibitive, then when on the other side Jackson wakes up from his torpor the road for the guests becomes uphill. The lions, exhausted, cling to the vein of Toscano and Stanic but in the long run it is not enough: Conte is the variable that you do not expect, it is he who digs the first furrow in favor of Ruvo. Jerkovic and the inevitable Jackson perfect the escape of the Apulians.
