Trieste Starting Five: Ruzzier, Brown, McDermott, Uthoff, Johnson.

Trapani Starting Five: Robinson, Petrucelli, Galloway, Alibegovic, Horton.

The game started with a flurry of offense, as both Robinson and Brown connected from beyond the arc. However, Trapani quickly established control, building an early 8-3 lead.While trieste attempted to exploit their size inside, Trapani’s offense, fueled by Galloway’s playmaking, surged ahead. Trapani’s sharpshooting, reminiscent of the San Antonio Spurs’ ball movement in their prime, propelled them to a commanding 41-25 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Trapani’s offensive onslaught continued into the second quarter, reaching an astounding 90% shooting percentage from three-point range (10/11) midway through the period. Coupled with Trieste’s turnovers, this led to a daunting deficit of over 20 points.

This kind of offensive explosion is rare, even in today’s NBA, where teams like the Milwaukee Bucks prioritize spacing and shooting.
