UEB Gesteco Cividale moved one step closer to securing a playoff berth with a convincing 85–69 victory over Edilizia Moderna Rimini in Lega Nazionale Pallacanestro Serie A2 action. The home side used a balanced attack and stifling defense to control the game from the second quarter onward.

First‑Half Dominance

After a tentative opening period (19–18 Cividale), the hosts exploded in the second quarter, outscoring Rimini 25–12 to take a 44–30 halftime lead. Cividale’s defense forced five turnovers in that stretch and limited Rimini to 4‑of‑15 shooting. The guards penetrated at will, creating open looks for shooters.

Second‑Half Management

Rimini threatened briefly after the break, cutting the deficit to 56–48 midway through the third. But Cividale responded with an 11‑2 run, highlighted by two three‑pointers and a steal‑and‑layup. The fourth quarter was a formality, with Cividale’s bench players maintaining the double‑digit margin.

Player Highlights

• Cividale’s point guard: 18 points and 9 assists, controlling the tempo flawlessly.
• Rimini’s forward: 22 points on 9‑of‑14 shooting, but lacked support from teammates (combined 6‑of‑25 from the rest of the starters).

Playoff Implications

The win lifts Cividale to 6th place in the Serie A2 standings, while Rimini remains in 14th, now six points adrift of the playoff spots with eight games remaining. Cividale’s improved defence (holding opponents under 70 points for the fourth time in five games) bodes well for a postseason push.
