Regular Season Round 23: Giorgo Tesi PT - Novipiu Casale 75-67

Date: March 24, 2013
The game between Top Four teams took place in Pistoia. First ranked host Tuscany Pistoia (17-5) defeated second-ranked Novipiu Casale (14-8) 75-67. The hosts started the game with a very strong first quarter 26-17. But Novipiu Casale won second period 16-9. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Tuscany Pistoia made 27-of-31 free shots (87.1 percent) during the game. 27 personal fouls committed by Novipiu Casale helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a great evening for Panamanian swingman Michael Hicks (194-76, college: Texas A&M-CC) who led his team to a victory scoring 24 points and 7 rebounds. The former international power forward Giacomo Galanda (211-75) helped adding 15 points. Four Tuscany Pistoia players scored in double figures. American point guard Casper Ware (177-90, college: Long Beach St.) responded with 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists and the former international swingman Niccolo Martinoni (202-89) produced a double-double by scoring 15 points and 11 rebounds. Tuscany Pistoia have an impressive series of seven victories in a row. They maintain first place with 17-5 record. Novipiu Casale at the other side dropped to the third position with eight games lost. Tuscany Pistoia will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Novipiu Casale will play on the road against LeGamberi Foods Forli and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
