In the last quarter Trieste controls the pace of the match and extends to 88-57 at the siren.
Thus coach Ramondino at the end of the race: ʺCongratulations to Trieste for winning a match they dominated. We were unprepared from every point of view and a solid team like Allianz took advantage of this situation, taking all the possible advantages from our inconsistency. We weren't able to resist and put them in difficulty either in attack or defense. Our season is a succession of ups and downs and this aspect can be seen in the away game in the long run, because if you get the go-to-guys into the game it is difficult to stop them and the other players also gain confidence. Today it is not right to look for individuals responsible for the defeat, my job is to get the team ready to play this type of match..
