A Saturday in the South Group of Serie A2 full of surprises: all the teams worst placed in the standings win.
The first surprising victory, in chronological order, is that of Stella Azzurra Roma, narrowly over Halley Thunder Matelica 59-58 after extra time. The match was decided by home guard Pelka, with the winning three-point basket: not to be underestimated, in the Stella house, the 18 by Nikolic and 14 by Brzonova, who change the match. For Matelica, still in an accident emergency, 16 from Grassia.
Azimut Wealth Management Savona also won, 71-68 over Alma Basket Patti. Savona deservedly wins, resisting the attempts to return in the final of the expectations, which find 15 points each from Miccio and Botteghi. For the Ligurians 16 points from Paleari coming off the bench.
Pal too. Vigarano with a heavy victory, 48-53 on the Basket Girls Ancona field: to lead the Emilians on a difficult field 12 points from Perini and 11 from the foreign Piedel. There are 18 points from Mataloni for an Ancona team that fails to win a fundamental challenge for the Playout positioning.
