Useless for the Brianzoli were Bortolani’s 15 points and Basile’s 14.

“Compliments to Trapani, which played a very good game – explained in the postgame Nicola Brienza, coach of the Canturino club -When you play against teams of this quality, you have to be cool in some situations and all opportunities must be taken advantage of. Unfortunately, today because of their quality, we were not always able to run”.

“When you have chances to close the gap we had at the beginning of the second half and you don’t take advantage of them, then it is clear that you get to the end that you can’t play it – added Brienza himself -. When you have to chase a team with this talent, you have to be more pragmatic, because their quality in the long run comes out”.

Sunday night’s was the second loss of the season for Cantù, which also lost to Trento in the first day, then won in the next one against Reggio Emilia. For Trapani, on the other hand, it is three for three in the top series, with wins against Trieste and Venice before the one at Paladesio.
