Lightning-fast start to the match, many opportunities for Bcl to take the lead at 9/11, showing some good solutions, even if the shooting accuracy isn’t the best. With extreme determination and aggressiveness Saronno makes an impact and tries to get away, but Bcl seems to hold its own, closing the first quarter on 17/13. The start of the second half was at a furious pace, the hosts took the measure of the red and white attack, not allowing them a single clean shot.
Saronno’s defense is suffocating, forcing Bcl to make mistakes, losing several balls and hindered under the basket, causing many attempts to score points to abort. If the Saronno defense does its job well, the attack does it even better, until 19/16 Olivieri’s boys manage to stay in the wake, then Saronno extends to dig a furrow of plus 20 at the end of the second quarter .
The second half begins with Bcl projected into attack, recovering 5 points, but Saronno certainly doesn’t sit idly by and responds blow for blow, maintaining the advantage acquired in the second half of the game. Barsanti and his teammates try without ever giving up, but it’s difficult with such a suffocating defense, at the end of the quarter the red and whites only recovered two points.
The last quarter is set by Saronno like the previous ones, without allowing clean shots to anyone, the two teams are now in close contact with 20 points separating them. For Bcl a not particularly lucky match, but where Saronno made all his weight count by closing the first of the play offs on a score of 81/65
