Bertram Tortona Leads Napoli Basket at Halftime
In Week 5 of the LBA, Bertram Tortona led Napoli Basket 47-41 at halftime. The home side built a lead of up to 16 points after a strong start in the first quarter.
The LBA midday game saw Bertram Tortona face Napoli Basket. Both teams came into the match after winning their last two Eurocup games. Before the match, the two sides had an identical 5-5 record, and Marco Spissu was the only former player of the home side on the opposing team.
The home team started the game quickly. Durham's three-pointer and defensive effort gave Bertram an early advantage. Tortona, which tried to break Napoli's early resistance with Tarczewski's inside play and Hubb's scoring, finished the first quarter ahead 26-19.
In the second quarter, Napoli moved close to closing the gap with an 8-0 run. However, Bortolani's three-pointer and Hubb's baskets allowed the home side to push the lead back into double digits. One of Tortona's most important players in this period was Aris, who reached 10 points. Piedmontese at one point took a 16-point lead, but the first half ended 47-41.
