the match
–
Treviso, devoid of Dimsa and despite the recent period with more shadows than lights, knows well that only the victory would keep alive the hope of overcoming the Top 16 and a very strong start. In attack, driven by Sokolowski who scored 7 points in the first quarter alone, she leads an excellent first quarter in the offensive half but does not do as well in the defensive half, thus giving life to a balanced high-scoring game that reaches the first interval with Manresa leading 28-27. The equilibrium slowly begins to crumble in the first half of the second quarter, when Manresa, thanks to a devastating streak from the three-point arc, digs the first furrow and for the first time finds a double-digit advantage 44-33. Unfortunately for Menetti, however, it is only part of the gap that is created because at 1’50 ” from the interval Manresa arrives and reaches 20 points behind: 53-33. Manresa has maintained the same attacking standard of the first quarter while Treviso has gone in the opposite direction. The partial of the second is one of those who mark the games, 31-10, and seals the first half at 59-37. Decisive 9/17 from the arc (against 5/13) and 12/14 to free throws (against 4/5). Treviso starts the third quarter with very little energy, loses trivial balls and grants some rebounds too easily to the Spaniards, the conditions are not good and after a hint of recovery the Treviso players show the first signs of frustration and nervousness, triggering quarrels with the referees a little useful to recover the score because Manresa is always around twenty ahead. A -16 is immediately magnified with a partial 8-0 for -24, 84-60 at the end of the third quarter. There is no trace of the match: it ends 108-88 and Treviso is mathematically out of the game.
