In perhaps the most incredible evening of its young basketball history, Zeta Esse Ti Teens Biella beat Rivarolo 63-58 at Pala Pajetta and achieved a success with enormous specific weight in the race for salvation.
Teens with two faces: first confusing in attack and “soft” in defense, down 14 at half-time, 39-51 10 minutes from the final siren, then irrepressible and capable of going beyond the difficulties of an evening faced without point guard Gagliano , with Zimonjic sent off at the beginning of the second quarter and Brusasca knocked out due to knee trouble. Yet the willpower of Garri’s team was stronger than anything, thanks to a truly sixth man support on the pitch.
The Teens takes their fourth victory in five playout games and continues their march towards a goal that only a couple of months ago seemed very difficult to achieve.
Biella. Guzzon 19, Cerri 15, Zimonjic 4, Maffeo 7, Ousman 9, Bona, Brusasca 4, Vioglio 2, Ramella 3. Ne: Curvà. All. Garri.
