JuVi Cremona Earn First Win of the Season as Torino's Streak Ends

JuVi Cremona secured its first win of the season in its home game in Cremona. The hosts ended Torino's five-game winning streak.

Cremona was missing players. Corvalàn and Maspero did not play, and Robinson had not yet reached his expected form since joining Cremona. Torino also could not count on Guariglia and carried the fatigue of a league game it had played four days earlier. Even so, Moretti's team could not hold its concentration and failed to show the determination expected on the court.

Cicchetti stood out on both ends early in the game. Torino held on against Allen's individual shots. When Robinson and Reed scored from long range, JuVi began to pull away. Restelli's five points put Cremona ahead 23-11, and Moretti called his players to the bench.

Cicchetti picked up his third foul and went back to the bench. Torino failed to take advantage of open shots and offensive rebounds. After Allen's first three-pointer, the team missed 17 three-point attempts. When Pepe hit his second three, the score was 37-20 in the 18th minute. The half ended with Robinson's basket, and Cremona led 37-20 at the break. Moretti protested to the referees, but Torino failed to use a single free throw.

Torino started the second half with more determination.
