Edilizia Moderna Rimini captured a crucial road victory at the Adriatic Arena, defeating Victoria Libertas Pesaro 99–89 in a Serie A2 clash that had major implications for the playoff race. Rimini rode a hot shooting night and a dominant performance from their veteran guard to snap a two‑game losing streak.
Match Overview
The game was an offensive showcase from the opening tip. Both teams shot over 50% from the field in the first half, but Rimini took a 52–48 lead into the break by converting 7 of 10 three‑point attempts. Pesaro stayed within striking distance thanks to strong play from their frontcourt, but Rimini’s ability to score in bunches kept them at arm’s length.
Key Moments
- Third‑quarter separation: Rimini opened the second half on a 13‑4 run, pushing the lead to 65–52. Pesaro never got closer than six the rest of the way.
- Free‑throw mastery: Rimini went 24‑of‑26 from the line, including 12‑of‑12 in the fourth quarter.
- Pesaro’s inside battle: The home team won the rebound battle 38–31 but gave up too many second‑chance points on the defensive end.
Standout Players
Rimini’s shooting guard had a season‑high 31 points, connecting on 5 three‑pointers and 8 free throws. Pesaro’s leading scorer dropped 22, but his team’s inability to get consistent stops proved fatal. The win improves Rimini to 17–16, while Pesaro falls to 14–19 and sees their playoff hopes take a blow with only a handful of games remaining in the Serie A2 regular season.
