Vanoli fights but falls in Pesaro

PESARO – Goodbye to playoff dreams, but this remains a detail for Cremona’s wonderful season. Of course, losing never feels good (91-86), but Vanoli got to her knees in the last few possessions and objectively both energy and motivation made the difference. Pesaro, still clinging to the dream of salvation with one matchday to go, put everything it had into play and brought home an important success with 40′ remaining in the championship. As always, Vanoli played an intelligent match and was able to alternate zone and man defence. Above all, he pushed with two fewer players in the rotations. Without Denegri, after the broken finger and without Adrian who this time failed to miraculously recover from his ankle sprain. The American tried until the end but this time he had to raise the white flag. In this way both Galli (4′ and two points) and Vecchiola (1′) found space. Everything was decided at the end with Vanoli tired and Pesaro ‘incidental’ in search of hopes of salvation. Right so.
