Sneed unmitigated, Cantu takes it after 45 minutes

Xavier Sneed, with 34 points, pushes Cantù to victory against a never tame Udine: 90-85 the final after an overtime.

The start was chaotic, with a lot of inaccuracy and few points (8-6 host at 5′), but the agonism was not lacking. The hosts, thanks to Gilyard, Sneed and Bowden go to the first break ahead (20-17).

The first significant stretch is white and blue (+6 at 13′). Udine, however, first sews up and then even puts its nose ahead (39-36 at 18′). At the’long halftime it is parity: 41-41 with Sneed the best scorer (15).

We restart and at halftime it is tied again (51-51), then Cantù does not score anymore and Udine flies to +10. Moraschini’s bomb at the buzzer serves to reduce the gap: 61-54 host at 30′.

An unmitigated Sneed and Bowden sound the charge and Cantù reverses the situation hoisting itself even to +5 but Udine doesn&#8217t give up and stays attached: Alibegovic&#8217s bomb brings the match to the overttime (75-75).

The overtime is a real battle with the hosts stretching thanks to the usual Sneed and the Friulians fighting back and staying in the game until the end. Cantù prevails 90-85.
