Die hard! There TUSCAN COFFEE PIELLE LIVORNO also wins game 2 and now leads 2-0 in the series vs. Andrea Costa Imola (playoff quarter-finals). Probably one of the best matches of the year took place on the Pala Macchia parquet, with the visiting team never tamed and capable of even putting their noses ahead at 72-73. La Pielle at that point relies on the talented hands of Chiarini And Lagana, bringing home a challenge of capital importance and fought for the entire 40 minutes. The score at the end of the first quarter says 26-22 Pielle, the match is vibrant and balanced thanks to the plays of the many protagonists available to the coach Cardani and coach Di Paolantonio. He goes to the long return with Caffè Toscano ahead by 8 points (47-39), but upon returning from the locker room Imola shows all his heart. The point-to-point battle, as mentioned, will reward Pielle, driven once again by the 3000 of the Pala Macchia and by a heat worthy, at least, of a higher category.
On Friday 10 May the series moves to Imola for race 3; hard ball at 8.30pm on the Pala Ruggi parquet.
