Regular Season Round 7: Napoli - Varese 97-96

Date: November 11, 2023
Everything went according to plan when fifth ranked Napoli (5-2) edged at home 11th ranked Openjobmetis Varese (2-5) 97-96 on Saturday. However just one-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. Napoli dominated down low during the game scoring 50 of its points in the paint compared to Openjobmetis Varese's 24 and made 17-of-20 free shots (85.0 percent) during the game. Napoli forced 22 Openjobmetis Varese turnovers. Strangely Openjobmetis Varese outrebounded Napoli 43-29 including 33 on the defensive glass. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Georgian-American point guard Jacob Pullen (183-1989, college: Kansas St., agency: AltusBasket) fired 33 points (!!!), 6 assists and 4 steals for the winners. Croatian Tomislav Zubcic (213-1990) chipped in 24 points and 4 steals. Napoli's coach used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. American forward Sean McDermott (198-1996, college: Butler, agency: Octagon Europe) produced 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists and the former international guard Davide Moretti (190-1998, college: Texas Tech) added 13 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists respectively for lost side. Four Napoli and five Openjobmetis Varese players scored in double figures. Napoli moved-up to fourth place, which they share with Reggio Emilia and Trento. Loser Openjobmetis Varese dropped to the twelfth position with five games lost. They share it with Pistoia and Sassari. Napoli will meet bottom-ranked Treviso (#16) on the road in the next round which should be an easy win for them. Openjobmetis Varese will play against Scafati (#7) and hope to secure a win.
