—

Loaded by three thousand in the stands, Treviso tries to start immediately strong (8-3), but Fortitudo does not allow itself to be surprised and relies on the area to break the pace of the Venetian attack. Thanks to the baskets of Procida, Dhuram and Benzing the visiting team closes the first set forward (20-24) and in the following one stretches to +8, dragged by the ideas of Charalampopoulos and by a match-up that the guys of coach Menetti struggle to decipher. We go to the long break with Bologna deservedly +6 (34-40), and the advantage holds even at the beginning of the second half, despite Treviso’s repeated attempts to get back into the game. After touching +10, Fortitudo closes the third quarter ahead 54-62, but in less than two minutes Treviso overturns everything with three triples in a row (63-62). For a moment it seems that the Venetians can take possession of the match, but Frazier’s energy puts his confidence back, so the two teams finish in a draw in the regular 40 ‘. In extra time the Bolognese have too much desire to win, they fly to +7 and keep up to the siren.
