Brescia tries to escape with baskets by Petrucelli and Gabriel forcing Coach Galbiati to timeout with Germani escaped to +12 on 19-31. Coming out of the timeout, the hosts still struggle to find the bottom of the net and Gabriel’s counterattack dunk makes it +14 for Germani.

Forray and Baldwin try to shorten the gap for Trento, but Germani è good at answering with two triples by Gabriel and Burnell bringing Coach Magro’s team back to +26 (41 to 67 the score at 27’).
