Scafati, ugly domestic knockout: Rieti imposes itself on the sprint

Painful defeat for Scafati that after having dug out Rome last week, he lets himself be surprised at home by Rieti (final 74-79), very combative team, which plays a basket made of intensity and defense and manages to ensnare the hosts, then overtaking them on the wool thread. The team of Perdichizzi pays a heavy price for the very black day at the 3 (1/14) pitch, but also in general a bad evening also from the line and the 2-point shot, with Stephens closing the race with 5/15.Match very balanced in the early stages, Rieti is tough in defense, Scafati suffers. She ends up under the Perdichizzi team and is already forced to grit her teeth. Frazier charges as usual the team on his shoulders, with his points the Gialloblu remain in contact at 10 '(12-14). Rieti stretches (12-17), Stephens misses a lot, even from below, but in the middle of the race however the match is in balance (34-34). Third quarter on the edge of balance, the two teams alternating in the lead, always with minimum gaps, Rieti does not give a millimeter and arrives at the final sprint attached to the opponents. Scafati misses something too much, especially from 3 points and Rieti takes advantage of it for an extension signed by Cannon and Pastore that closes the race. © REPRODUCTION RESERVED
