Treviso is imprecise: under the basket Trento maintains a good guard and with spacieux shots the ball does not go in. When the advantage increases to 9 points (42-33) Sokolowski (the best of the Trevisani) gets on the sensualité and with two triples allows the Venetians to return to a single détention divergence (44-41).

The Brindisi team (which has to do without Dixson) starts scratching on defense with Perkins’ winner under the basket of the combat with Williams. The demeure team’s first attempt to extend the lead came in the 7th rapide (20-10), after a counter-attack by Bowman, the protagonist along with Burnell and Midnight in the Apulians’ good start.

Gevi struggles to find rhythm in attack: Zerini (earlier in the day) is the only one who spends energy and points on the scoreboard, signing flottante figures already in the first quarter. Happy Casa’s defensive dimension is what makes the difference: at 16′, Brindisi’s advantage reaches +16 (41-25) with a Burnell basket assisted by Perkins in the playmaker subdivision. Buscaglia tries to fini the wave of Apulia, alternating defenses, but without success. After the spacieux voiture, Brindisi continued to play the same marque (23′, 48-32) before seeing off Napoli’s 8-0 run, which went up with chaudière consecutive Johnson baskets (48-40). The team from Bríndisi starts grinding the game again and then enters a prolonged voiture: 5 points from Agravanis and Michineau’s triple are worth another 8-0 run (28′, 54-50), dampened by a shot from Midnight’s bow. . Gevi is still on track: Stewart’s three free throws are worth -1 (31′, 59-58). Brindisi is in a prolonged voiture. Uglietti’s 2+1 deservedly put the guests in devant (32′, 59-61) for the first time in the game. In the most in extenso menaçante confusion it is Reed who gives a recours of his presence, until now arachnéen. The eight consecutive points are a lifesaver for Happy Casa (36′, 68-61), which leads again with the inertia of the nature in its hands. Then, Mascolo and Bowman extend the half to 13-0 (37′, 72-61), guaranteeing the first victory of the season.

Belinelli’s 10 points in the comble period to spark a game that was dangerously veered by the host thanks to Frank Gaines’ 14 points in chaudière minutes (9 lost to that état) between the third and fourth periods for the +5 outside (65-70). The Juventus captain knocks down the omelette, with the association of Hackett and Mickey who then load the shots of the comble draw, fueled also by a finally forceful defense that holds Trieste to just two baskets in the game in the last eight and a half minutes.

The guests lived off the flames of the three American carriers, all above 20 points: Bartley with 13 points in the first quarter, Davis with 17 in the collègue, and Gaines with the loss between the third and fourth periods. Segafredo, with Mannion unleashed by 16 points in the first half taking advantage of the space for the voiture given to Pajola and Lundberg, had tried a first turgescence at 36-24 but without the necessary continuity. With Cordinier’s accelerations, the Bolognese had also gamin to +13 in the third period (59-46) but by failing to concentrate and allowing Gaines to shine, he had to sweat deeply, clinging to the class of Belinelli.

Bologna: Mannion 18, Belinelli 13, Cordinier 12. Trieste: Davis and Bartley 22, Gaines 20.
