Mens Sana Basketball needs an overtime to celebrate the victory of a game 2 played with heart and with the desire to give its fans an indescribable joy.
Coach Palo Betti’s boys start too softly as they have to chase a San Vincenzo team that came to PalaEstra with the attitude of those who want to impact the series. The first quarter ends 23 to 20 for the guests.
In the second quarter the same match as the first ten minutes with San Vincenzo leading the match with Prosek, Tognazzi and Iozzi trying to keep Mens Sana afloat. The second quarter ends +4 for Bianchi and his teammates.
In the third quarter San Vincenzo escapes thanks to Persico and Bianchi who bring the bianconeri to +10.
The last quarter is a Mens Sana show: 27 points scored in a quarter with two bombs from Prosek, a wild Marrucci who flies to dunk into the guest basket, a gladiator Sabia and a Tognazzi who attacks the rim profitably. We go to extra time.
Overtime is green and white with Puccioni returning to score and a suffocating Siena defense that forces San Vincenzo to raise the white flag.
