Trento was much more motivated and took advantage of the situation winning 84-74 over Olimpia to clinch the last playoffs’ berth in the Italian league. The game was meaningless for Olimpia. “In truth, I’m disappointed because I wanted to enter into the playoffs the correct way. Maybe the difference in terms of motivations was crucial. We didn’t have the same energy, we didn’t use enough our physicality which is something that we need to establish in the playoffs. And then we shot horribly from the outside They made almosta 50 percent of their threes and many of them were contested, tough shots. We made 19 percent of our threes and the majority ones were wide open. However, we got to be ready to win games even when we don’t shoot well,” Coach Peppe Poeta said. Olimpia used Diego Flaccadori on his way back from a hand injury. Armoni Brooks led the scorers with 18 points.
