Basketball, NBT Latina practically saved, Fortitudo Scauri still has to fight

On the fifth day of the poule to remain in the Unified C series of men’s basketball, mixed results for the two quintets of Agro Pontino. New Basket Time Latina continues its winning run while Fortitudio Scauri, after three consecutive victories, crashes into the insurmountable obstacle of Civitavecchia Basketball, still remaining entangled in the lot of teams at risk of relegation in Regional Division 1, the old Serie D .

LATINA HERE

No problem for New Basket Time Latina, coached by Andrea Berardi, who achieved their fifth success in as many matches played in this second phase, the only team undefeated after 5 days among the 12 competitors in the salvation group. Victim of the moment, the Frosinone Basketball School, liquidated with an unequivocal 75-59. First quarter goes to the Ciociari who escape at 13-20, then Latina comes back and overtakes (29-28) right before the long break. Second half without history: partial of 46-31 for New Basket Time in the second half of the match. Alessandro Porfido, after the 44 points scored in the previous round, was “satisfied” with scoring 16, leaving the title of top scorer to his teammate and namesake named Alessandro Carturan, who scored 21. Alessandro third in double figures Pedà: for him 10 points.

HERE FORTITUDE

A day to forget, however, for the Fortitudo Scauri of the coach Leonardo Ortenzi, who ran into a bad day on the parquet of the Civitavecchia Basketball team, winning with an exaggerated 80-50 in an escalation where the pontini never managed to come into play: 20- 12 at the end of the first half; doubled (44-22) at half-time and 30 points down (64-34) after 30′ of play. Scauri was without Alessio Policari, but only Martin Baijic (21 points) and Daniele Di Prospero (12) made a good contribution.

THE SITUATION

After 5 days New Basket Time Latina is virtually safe, because it leads the rankings at 24, arm in arm with Civitavecchia. The advantage over the fourth from last (Sora and Basket Roma have 14 points each) is 10 points, so for the two leaders it will be enough to win one of the next 7 games to celebrate staying in the category. The situation of the other Pontine club is more complicated, but not worrying for now. Fortitudo Scauri is fourth in the standings with 18 points (tied with Anzio) and only 4 points ahead of the Frosinone-Basket Roma duo. For Scauri, the Pontine derby scheduled for next Sunday at the Palaborrelli against Latina will be fundamental and then the home matches scheduled in the return round against Valmontone (third from last on 10 points) and Smit Rioma, bottom of the table with zero points.
