Nba, Fontecchio gives the victory to Utah. Banchero drags Orlando

The night turns blue NBA. Simone Fontecchio and Paolo Banchero are great protagonists of the successes of Utah (124-123 vs. Golden State) e Orlando (116-111 vs. the Los Angeles Clippers). Fontecchio comes off the bench and in just under 20′ on the parquet produces his best performance of the season with 18 points (3/6 in the triples) but above all the former Milan player is ready to relieve Malik Beasley to score the winning dunk with just over a second to go. All under the satisfied gaze of the Italy coach Gianmarco Pozzecco, who arrived in Salt Lake City after a mission to Orlando to meet Banchero. “I try to always be ready to help the team – Fontecchio said in an interview after the game – The NBA is a completely different world and I’m trying to enjoy every single moment of this experience”.

There is the signature of Paolo Bancaro on Orlando’s success against the Clippers. The first pick of the last draft scores 10 of his 23 points in overtime allowing the Magic to end their nine-game losing streak and to fold Los Angeles after overtime: the 6/6 with stopped time signed by the passport rookie was decisive Italian in the last seven seconds of the match, a streak that allowed Orlando to overturn the 111-110 that was rewarding the guests. At the siren he is 5/13 from the field, 5 rebounds, two assists and two steals for Banchero.
