Recap
Athleta secured a crucial victory against SiGMA Depiro last weekend as their playoff dream continues.
Five seconds is all it took for Malik Riddle to score the game’s first point on Sunday as Athleta took a quick lead. Depiro’s Kameron Rooks hit next from close range before Cameron Cornelius scored from three-point range to hand the Mtarfa side its first lead change. This early dominance transcribed into a double-digit lead after an Andrew Aquilina three-pointer but Athleta’s Dajuan Moorer dunked while Riddle euro-stepped his team back into close margins.
Nenad Bukva dropped a three-pointer to start the second quarter before two Michael Debattista triples in between a Piotr Stelmach score. Cornelius let fly another three before the Depiro guard and Rooks added more close-range scores as Depiro were up by 20 with 3.50 remaining in the first half. Athleta tried for a late rally but it was Depiro up 46-32 at the break.
Stelmach opened the second half with a three-ball before Moorer rose through contact for another score for Athleta. The Polish forward made it a six-point game with another long-ranger. The Gzira side were on the front foot, reducing the deficit to three points and forcing Depiro coach Ruben Baldacchino to call a time-out. The balance of the game could not be broken but it was Depiro who retook a slight lead ahead of the fourth quarter.
The final rubber showcased two sides as close as ever yet again but Depiro had the advantage of being in the bonus with 6.03 to go. However, Athleta remained in close vicinity and after two Luca Stefanovic threes and a layup for a one-point encounter, the Maroons were back on top for the first time since the first quarter. The Athleta guard became his team’s saviour in the fourth as with seconds to go, he met a low pass from Stelmach in the paint to beat the shotclock and give Christos Kousidis’ clan a two-point win.
