Brescia scrambled at home by Trapani
Hurricane Trapani
Germani Brescia, at home, has to give way in the face of the Trapani Shark: 95-74 for the newly promoted Sicilians.
The game, as expected, immediately runs over the tracks of high tension. Both formations express a basketball consisting of a high number of possessions, but the conclusions do not find with continuity the big target. Germani relies on Della Valle and Bilan, who score from the lunette, while Trapani draws from several violins their baskets. Mostly thanks to Galloway, author of six crucial points in the middle of the fourth quarter, as well as the experience and talent of Pleiss, valuable, with his physicality, under the boards. Coach Giuseppe Poeta decided to pause the clock, hoping to turn things around. However, at the resumption of hostilities, Brescia, net of the baskets of Dowe and Della Valle, è forced to chase the Garnet team, which shows great team chemistry and shooting percentages of absolute level, which leave no way out for the white-blue defense, late by 15 lengths at the first siren.
The second half saw a vehement start by the Sharks on both ends of the court, putting energy and determination on the floor. Yeboah and Horton push over the gas pedal and sign a 0-6 partial, forcing coach Giuseppe Poeta to call a timeout. Germani struggles to make an impact offensively and slams against the organized and physical Sicilian defense, which allows little time for space and thought in building the best conclusion, going to the score thanks to the personal initiatives of Della Valle and Bilan. Brescia turns up the volume of defensive intensity by putting pressure on Robinson and forcing Alibegovic and Pleiss to take uncomfortable conclusions. It’s an approach that pays off.
Brescia, in fact, though trailing by double digits, gains confidence and shakes up the environment, bringing the delay to 11 points, with coach Jasmin Repesa calling a timeout. Petrucelli and Yeboah, però, infuse new life and oxygen, breaking the Trapani fast. Germani, at the long break, has to chase on the opponent’s breakaway.
In the third quarter, as is physiological, Brescia tries to raise its head again by increasing the engine revs even in offensive propulsion. The Sharks, for their part, do not intend to give up the prey and, thanks to an excellent and fluid circulation of the ball, punish the home defense and try to stifle any velleità of Brescia plate. Robinson and Yeboah bend the opponent’s resistance, while Germani, after a good start, loses lucidity and patience in the construction of the game, losing, also, some balls in the basket. Della Valle, as a true captain, tries to sound the charge with a bomb, as does Burnell, who throws his heart over the obstacle, fighting on every ball and being ready to rebound. However Robinson, a real thorn in the white-blue side, hits Brescia with his third-half entries to the iron and his assists in traffic. The Garnets, at the penultimate buzzer, lead with authority.
The last period è stingy with excitement. Dowe keeps alive a small glimmer of hope, but Trapani, strengthened by the treasure accumulated throughout the game, manages the result with rationality and patience, redeeming the home defeat accrued last day, while Germani ends its streak of consecutive victories at two wins.

In the evening, the challenge with the American Fritz
Today, in Turin, as far as the ATP Finals program is concerned, it is the turn of ìl Nastase group, then Sinner. The world No. 1, after beating, without any major headaches, De Minaur, aims to overcome the American Fritz, fresh from his fine success, on the first day, against Medvedev. A match that could open the door to the semifinals for the blue outfielder.
Counting in hand, if De Minaur, in the early afternoon match, beats Medvedev (who appeared unfocused in his debut with Fritz) and, at the same time, Sinner folds the American as happened at the US Open final, here is that the Italian would be certain to qualify, from first in the rankings, for the semifinals of the 2024 edition ATP Finals.
Sinner è in high spirits and knows that, winning the pass to the semifinals with a day in advance would also be a good shot to better dose his energy. Clearly a lot will depend on De Minaur, although beating Fritz è however, it is crucial to look at the continuation of the tournament with optimism. By winning with the American, even if Medvedev were to De Minaur, Sinner would have something to smile about with two wins out of two matches played (and, in fact, the near certainty of passage to the round).
Compounding Alcaraz’s uphill start (bad loss in his opener against Ruud), Sinner è right now, the clear favorite to win the ATP Finals. Today è a key day to certify his No. 1 status and put even more pressure on his opponents.

The Cavs off to their best start since the Warriors (2015/16)
.
Cleveland continues to impress. Thanks to a stunning performance by Mitchell (36 points), the Cavs also bent the Bulls’ resistance (119-113 the final), bringing their record to 12 wins and no losses. To find such a dazzling start, one has to go back to the Warriors of the 2015/16 season, those of the initial 24 wins (they would later close the season with a 73-9 record).
“It’s good to be part of history. Nothing should be taken for granted, especially these feats. We are doing it in so many different ways. There’è always someone who, every time, sounds the charge. However, è always an effort from the whole team”, Mitchell's words reported by ESPN.
Applause also to Wembanyama, an absolute star in San Antonio’s win over Sacramento (116-96). The Spurs all-star dominated far and wide, ending the game with 34 points, 14 rebounds and also six assists. A constant and devastating presence in the middle of the court.
In the other games of the night, OKC è got rid of the LA Clippers (134-128, 45 points from a spectacular Gilgeous-Alexander) while New Orleans è was beaten by Brooklyn (107-105). Excellent and important win also by Houston: 107-92 against Washington.

The words of Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori
Big win for Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori, who avenged the final they lost at the Australian Open and in less than an hour dominated Bopanna and Ebden far and wide. What made the difference, according to Bolelli è was the response: ” a key point in doubles. I have always said that when we can raise the bar in response we become even stronger”, explains Simone.
“We serve well, we cover the net well and we play well from the back” and today it è showed in a particular way. Lots of quality solutions” for the two blues, who more” times left the audience of the’Inalpi Arena breathless.
“For me, this qualification è was a dream”, says Vavassori, host. “There’s no favorite couple here, we are all competitive. I imagined I would receive a lot of warmth from the audience, but I did not imagine so much”.
On Wednesday, against Krawietz and Puetz, a match that canò already be worth a historic qualification: “We know them very well, we beat them in Australia and Halle and we lost to them in New York”. But in Turin, with the whole crowd to push the Azzurri, it will be a whole different story.
