Three points victory for Bassano on the most important day of the championship giving their supporters a good Christmas present and getting revenge against S. Croce who eliminated them from the play offs semi final last may, breaking up the 4 consecutive defeats and going from 11th to 8th in the standings.
S. Croce was coming from a great victory against Verona but that obviously does not mean anything and Fiorese hooks on to the last place worth the TIM Cup which will be defined on sunday the 30th after the end of the first leg.

Bassano- S.Croce has always been a match full of emotions and even last night, despite the mistakes and the fouls, the 1500 people present did not get bored.
Codyeco seemes a bit out of shape while Fiorese was full of attitude and determination from the start playing in from of their own numerous supporters. The whole team seemed back after the unconvincing away matches in Verona and Cagliari. What worked better than anything else was the blocking-digging coordination and counterattack.

Fiorese comes back to victory then but they are back on court this sunday against Crema, third in the standings, but the local derby is not as scary after the three points conquered tonight.
