Basketball, Note di Siena Mens Sana beats Vismederi Costone: we go to game 5

Note di Siena Mens Sana wins game 4 against Vismederi Costone and brings the series to the decisive fifth chapter. The match ends 63-54, a real fight with no holds barred within the bedlam of the Palaestra. Already from the first quarter the physicality is at very high levels, unlike the shooting percentages of both teams which struggle to break the deadlock. The green and whites are forced to do without Pannini due to an injury but they can count on Cucini in excellent form who gives one of his best performances of the year. Unlike the other matches in the series, this time Note di Siena Mens Sana immediately takes the lead and it is Vismederi Costone who plays the role of the chaser without however ever completing the comeback. The Serie C playoff final between the Sienese will therefore be decided in game 5.

First quarter (15-10)

The match gets rough immediately, after a minute and a half from the start Pannini is forced to come out because he lands badly on his ankle following contact with Banchi, both of whom were trying to capture the rebound. From there begins the foray of very low shooting percentages and a staid pace.

Second quarter (31-24)

In the second quarter, Mens Sana makes an initial push thanks to a solid Cucini and a Marrucci who begins to find his way to the basket. Costone is having difficulty shooting from outside and in the area the green-and-whites are good at conceding very little, thanks to a well-organised defence.

Third quarter (47-45)

Costone closes the gap thanks to an excellent start to the quarter, with Terrosi and Nasello reaching double figures under the category of points scored, and also to the offensive contribution of Ceccarelli. The green and whites continue to ride Cucini’s excellent shooting evening.

Fourth quarter (63-54)

The green-and-whites made no mistakes in the last half and with a super Prosek they gave the decisive push to the match. The final series will be decided in game 5.
