The 7th GameDay of the Italian League didn’t bring any change at the highest peak of the standings but altered things a little bit lower.
And that’s because Reggio Emilia took a splendid road victory over Avellino which makes them sole holders of the second place in the classification table. With Amedeo Della Valle being the stormbringer of a 3-pointer tempest (14/31), coach Menetti’s players blazed their hosts and now stand at a 6-1 record.
This result downgrades Avellino (5-2) to the third place tied, with Reggia Caserta (5-2) that narrowly escaped the (still disappointing) Cantu (2-5)
Olimpia Milano refuses to lose, this time easily downing Sassari (4-3) at home. The team from Sardinia is fourth, having Venezia and Capo D’Orlando as company.
