Trento record-breaking, Paolo Galbiati gloats
Dolomiti Energia Trentino also passes at PalaCarrara in Pistoia with a score of 88-92, signing an incredible record: for the first time in the LBA, the bianconeri win eight consecutive victories. Trento is confirmed at the top of the championship and treats itself to the national team break as the leader.
Absolute protagonist Anthony "Tony" Lamb, author of 27 points, supported by the 21 points of a solid Jordan Ford. For the Tuscans, 29 points from a super Semaj Christon were not enough, flanked by Rowan’s 17 and Silins’ 16. The Bianconeri will return to the court at The T Quotidiano Arena for a three-game home series against Besiktas, Napoli and Gran Canaria.
Coach Paolo Galbiati commented on the victory with the red-and-whites this way in the press conference: "Playing here è really difficult, becauseé their tifo è special. The game had two faces: in the first we put little physicalityà allowing Christon to do practically everything he wanted; in the second, however, we were moreù careful and focused".
"We made several mistakes on defense, also because of their great talent, but we were lucid in the final. Coolness on free throws allowed us to bring home an important win. I hope Niang has nothing serious and can go to the national team, because he deserves it. Now we enjoy three days off, then we will go back to the gym to better prepare for the next cup match" concluded the Bianconeri coach.
