Svethia Recanati wins the Bombonera from Montegranaro and gain access to playoff semi-finals of the championship Serie C
The 2-0 point came after a sumptuous performance from all points of view: very attentive defense and once again fluid attack which left no escape for a Sutor who nevertheless closed the season amidst the applause of a sold-out Bombonera already a year ago. now before the tap-off.
Recanati, after the good performance in race 1, is determined to close the case from the beginning. Sutor plays her cards by focusing on the physicality of an immediately inspired Errera. Svethia on the other hand found their sharpest weapon in Gurini in the very first moments of the match. The initial escape attempts bear the signatures of Reimundo and Pozzetti (6-13), Gasparini shortens to 12-15 but in addition to Clementoni who will eventually score 21, Sabbatini is Svethia’s extra man: with five consecutive points the captain projects his team to +8 (16-24) with which the first quarter ends. The defensive intensity of coach Di Chiara’s boys is crazy: Montegranaro struggles immensely to find clean solutions and clings to Quinzi and Gasparini’s shots from the arc.
But it’s not enough because Recanati moves the ball well and finds the basket consistently. Clementoni’s triple is worth +11 (16-27), Ndzie from the middle and Svethia ahead by 12 (19-31), Reimundo and Clementoni explode the visitors’ sector for +16 (20-36). The Leopardians dominate, Gasparini tries to put a stopper (23-37) but Clementoni is once again unleashed with a three-point play to set the score at +17 (23-40). Coach Coen calls a time-out which does not give the desired results, two personal ones from Marzullo and Recanati takes the lead which jumps to +19 (25-44). At the interval 27-46 for the guests, masters of everything.
Montegranaro returns to the field scraping the barrel of energy. A more aggressive defense and decreasing Svethia percentages bring the locals back to -12 (39-51). Yet another bomb from Clementoni and the gap increases again to 15 points (39-54), Sabbatini is a factor and scores +17 from the line (39-56). Contini still believes in it and scores the triple for 44-57, Clementoni is unstoppable while it is Sabbatini who definitively dashes Sutor’s hopes with the triple for 46-65 (30′). Gasparini at the dawn of the last ten minutes (49-65), Sabbatini again (he will finish with 7/9 from the field) to place the bomb of 49-68, Resmini and Gurini certify a now consolidated advantage that leaves no room for interpretations (59 -83 at 2’20” from the siren).
Very last moments useful only for statistics. Svethia triumphs 68-83 and takes home the semi-final against the winner of Montemarciano-Gualdo. We will start on Sunday 5 May at PalaCingolani-Pierini.
