Cantù beats Napoli, but Walter De Raffaele preaches caution

Arenella

Important blow for the salvation fight of Acqua S.Bernardo, which at PalaDesio wins 94-77 against Guerri Napoli and stretches on the relegation zone. Debut in the quintet for Fevrier. Few baskets in the first half of the quarter, with Napoli maintaining a minimal lead. A triple by Bortolani puts Acqua S.Bernardo ahead for the first time. The biancoblù pick up the pace and stretch to +5 thanks to Green and Sneed. The first period ends 20-16. At the start of the second quarter, the two teams find the basket with more continuity, but Cantù keeps the lead thanks to an excellent Okeke.

De Nicolao tries to create the first break, but Napoli responds. The white-blue break comes in the second half of the fraction, with Fevrier signing the +8. At halftime the hosts lead 41-33. Sneed immediately brings the Canturino lead to double digits. El-Amin prevents the biancoblù from taking the lead, but Acqua S.Bernardo stays firmly ahead, updating the maximum lead to +15. Totè tries to bring the guests closer, but Green’s 4-point play restores the distance. In the finale, Napoli shortens to 67-58 with which the third quarter ends.

Caruso brings Guerri closer again, but Moraschini responds with a heavy triple. Napoli doesn’t give up and goes back to -7 again, but Fevrier and Moraschini bring the home lead back to double digits. Fevrier’s triple of +16 with four minutes to go is the shot that closes the game. Acqua S.Bernardo can administer the finale and take two very heavy points, also overturning the basket difference in the direct clashes with Napoli.

“This is a very important victory for us, both for the specific weight of the two points and for the path we are on – commented Walter De Raffaele. “It came with a very good performance, except for three minutes of the third quarter, in which we saw our madness and the skill of Napoli, which managed to come back. We had the ability to regain the momentum, with different protagonists, and then to close the game, overturning the basket difference. One of the goals must be to involve as many teams as possible in the salvation race, without it becoming a two-man race”.

“It is a very good win, we put it aside and continue to work one game at a time. The team showed an identity and the ability to get something out of all the players. There is work to be done, but the road seems to be the right one”, added Coach De Raffaele.
