{{msg}} {{msg}}With a superb finish from Franco Pennacchiotti and after being at a disadvantage for much of the match, Villa Miter managed to beat Deportivo Viedma, 80 to 74, taking a 2-1 lead in the quarterfinal series corresponding to the Southern Conference of the Argentine League ,
It was difficult for the tricolor to get loose and generate play, because the visit cut off the circuits for their goal-men.
So, the shots were not clean and he only had one per attack.
In that context, Tabieres dominated on his board and forward, fighting and scoring, and Viedma had also entered directly with the three-point shot. The Rio Negro people felt more comfortable.
However, a triple from Harina and Pennacchiotti’s 1×1 push opened paths for Villa. Jano joined in with a couple of breaks, the point guard formed a partnership with Penna and more fluidity was generated, closing the quarter 22-21 ahead of the visit.
In less than two minutes of the second quarter, Gastón Fernández gave Pennacchiotti a rest and then the rest was added. And in that change, the second line of the tricolor knew how to maintain the game and had a better response than the Viedma relays.
The visitor insisted on playing from the inside out, although they began to pay for the low percentages and Villa Miter posted a 15-5 run (36-27).
The tricolor grew defensively and Viedma stopped playing collectively, he made mistakes often. The best passage of the Bahia team.
In any case, with the re-entry of Pennacchiotti the team abused playing for him and lost fluidity in the stationed offenses.
At the same time, with the returns of Marina and Giarraffa, the visit insisted on generating play from the breaks, defining near the basket or opening. Tambucci nailed two triples and the closing of the first half was with another from Giarraffa, to once again lead the visit: 42 to 40, with a partial score of 15-4.

Everything was very even when we returned from the locker room. Well contained Harina by Ossela, the Villa was limited in its options. While in Viedma Marina first and Giarraffa later they shouldered the offensive responsibility, escaping 59 to 54.
Afterwards, in a frantic back-and-forth, both teams responded with conversions of three: two from Harina, and one and one from Giarraffa and Ossela.
And the visitor, like the people who came to accompany him, was encouraged to do more, assuming that he could in Bahia.
The thing is that the panorama was clearer, with the work of Tabieres, the defense over Harina and the personality of Marina and Giarraffa to make decisions based on generating play, contrary to the tricolor, which was resolved from individual arrests.
Thus, the Rio Negro team entered the last quarter 64 to 59 ahead.
And so the first minutes continued, in which Villa Miter confused speed with haste and Viedma had more patience to wait for his moment.
However, there were practically no advantages. It was all very close, with good playoff weather.
The tricolor only got some air midway through the fourth, with two shots from Pennacchiotti and a team recovery, making an 8-0 run, taking 3 points: 70-67.
Whoever made a mistake lost. And Villa Miter had the answer he needed in Pennacchiotti, while the visitor’s hoop was closed.
With 2m15 left, the tricolor took the lead: 78 to 69, crowning the difference with a dunk after a recovery by Penna.
At this point, Viedma made mistakes in his decisions, which were hasty and not made by the most trustworthy.
On the other hand, in a stellar closing with Pennacchiotti doing everything (or almost), Villa Miter ended up winning and celebrating with its noisy and numerous fans.
Friday will be another chapter in the story. It could be the end. It depends on Villa Miter…
