TREVISO. There is practically never a match at the PalaVerde, where Dolomiti Energia Trentino imposes pace, physicality and basketball quality, overwhelming Nutribullet Treviso Basket with a clear 67-88. The home team only withstood the attack in the first ten minutes, leading 17-16, then L’Aquila progressively took control of the match, digging their way already before the break and spreading in the second half.
The second quarter marks the turning point: Trento increases the defensive intensity, runs the field better and scores a partial that is worth +7 at the long interval. From then on the match takes a clear direction, with the Bianconeri capable of even reaching +25 thanks to orderly, continuous and shared basketball. Treviso struggles especially in their own half of the pitch and is no longer able to return.
Driving the Eagle is a deep and well-distributed group: Battle closes with 15 points, Jogela adds 14, while Jakimovski and Steward both reach double figures with 13. Devante’ Jones also does well, author of 11 points and 5 assists, in addition to the contribution of Aldridge and Mawugbe, invaluable under the basket.
