First quarter almost perfect for Svincolati who, dragged by Giambo (the final points will be 30 for him), he closes the first period on +11. Malual, a real wall in the defensive phase for Milazzo, repeatedly blocks the home team’s attempts at the basket. The Milazzesi played on the edge in the second quarter too, going into the long break at +17. Upon returning, Gravina reacted with pride and set the maximum score, shortening the score and even overtaking it on +1. The Academy shakes itself off, reconnects and at the end of the half comes back ahead, closing on +4.
The last ten minutes see the Mamertines continue: Maiorana, Vasilievskis And The Bua in double figures they well support the excellent performance of their captain. Gravina, in particular with Elijah And Santonocito, tries until the end but the young Svincolati demonstrate the right maturity, rejecting the attempt from the Catania team. At the final siren, president Giambò’s boys finished victorious with a score of 91-97. The winner of the final will obtain salvation while for the loser the hope of salvation will also depend on the play-off Castanea and by the number of teams downgraded from the Interregional B.
