Givova Scafati still running, Attilio Caja is over the moon

Happy Casa Brindisi – Givova Scafati 71-75 in the 12th day of the Serie A championship

Fourth win in the last five league rounds for Givova Scafati, which was also able to impose itself 71-75 at PalaPentassuglia against Happy Casa Brindisi in the last day of the 2022 Serie A championship.

Victory the result of a performance to be framed, made of personality, offensive lucidity and great dirty work on defense, which the Agro team dedicated to Mrs. Lena, mother of patron Nello Longobardi,

A success that also came thanks to the Gialloblù collective, which had the merit of being able to suffer in the first half of the game and then manage the advantage in the second, shooting with higher percentages from three points (39% vs. 29%) and at the free throw line (77% vs. 67%), and sending as many as five men into double figures: Okoye (15), Pinkins (10), Butjankovs (12), Logan (21) and Stone (11).

Following are the statements made at the end of the match by Attilio Caja, Scafati’s head coach: “We dedicate the victory to the mother of our patron Longobardi: we know how much she cares for our team and city basketball, so we wish her a speedy recovery. Above all, the boys were very good at managing the pace of the game, managing not to let Brindisi play in the open court. The low score was in fact the result of this pace. We shut down their penetrations and managed the pace well. In the second half we took a good lead, which we then wisely maintained. The boys were very polished and alert, they worked well during the week and applied themselves a lot to what they had to do,” he began.

“Winning in Brindisi is never easy. We know how complicated it is to impose ourselves on such a hot parquet, so much so that, even when we were ahead, we knew very well that our opponents could come back at any moment, but we were lucid and good at bringing home a success that we deserved,” the coach concluded.
