Victoria Libertas Pesaro produced a high-scoring road performance on September 28, 2026, defeating Baltur Cento 96-81 in Lega Nazionale Pallacanestro Serie A2. Pesaro’s offense was in rhythm from the opening quarter, and their ability to sustain scoring runs throughout the game proved too much for Cento to handle.

The final score of Baltur Cento 81, Victoria Libertas Pesaro 96 made Pesaro one of the highest-scoring winners of the round. Their combination of perimeter shooting, transition play and inside finishing gave Cento problems all night.

Match Overview: Pesaro’s Offense Sets the Tone

Pesaro came out aggressive, pushing the pace and attacking Cento’s defense before it could set. Early three-pointers forced Cento to extend their defense, which in turn opened driving lanes and post-up opportunities. Cento tried to keep pace, and for a while their own shooting kept the game within reach.

The second quarter was where Pesaro began to separate. Their ball movement created open looks, and their bench maintained the scoring pressure. Cento had moments of offensive success, but they could not string together enough defensive stops to close the gap.

Key Factors Behind Pesaro’s Win

• Efficient shooting: Pesaro shot the ball well from the field and from beyond the arc, punishing Cento’s defensive rotations.
• Transition offense: The visitors turned defensive rebounds and steals into quick points.
• Balanced scoring: Multiple Pesaro players contributed, making the offense difficult to defend.
• Late-game control: Whenever Cento made a run, Pesaro responded with a composed possession and a score.

Baltur Cento’s Effort Falls Short

Cento deserve credit for fighting until the end. They scored 81 points, which is usually enough to be competitive, but their defense could not contain Pesaro’s multi-dimensional attack. Cento’s guards created some good looks, and their frontcourt battled on the boards, but the consistent defensive stops needed to mount a comeback never arrived.

The loss highlights the importance of defensive consistency in Serie A2. Cento showed they can score, but against a team like Pesaro, trading baskets is a dangerous strategy.
