Tonight both Simone Fontecchio and Danilo Gallinari played and both won and convinced with their respective teams!
Simo started for the second game in a row in the quintet and the Utah Jazz beat the New Orleans Pelicans 114 to 112 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City with a Fontecchio’s 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in 28 minutes on the court.
Rooster’s Washington Wizards were coming off nine straight losses, a streak broken with tonight’s victory on the Detroit Pistons’ parquet. In the 126 to 107 success of the Capitols there is also the signature of Danilo Gallinari, increasingly comfortable in the role of changing the team’s center. The Italian enters from the bench, plays 19 minutes and scores 16 points, shooting 5/8 from the field, to which he also adds 2 rebounds and 2 assists. HERE the highlights.
In short, it really was a great night for Simone Fontecchio and Danilo Gallinari, who proved once again that they can fit in very well at these levels and even make a difference.
Let’s see if they will have the continuity they deserve in their own teams’ upcoming NBA matches as well, hoping to have them both in San Juan at top form this summer.
