Olimpia didn’t have the energy to play an efficient game in Trento, its shooting percentages were very low throughout the game, from anywhere on the court, so Trent won 61-60. In the end, Olimpia used its desire and defense the get ahead on a Sergio Rodriguez three, but somehow off an offensive rebound Kelvin Martin had the winning tip-in. The last chance with nine seconds left was a Rodriguez attempt to draw a foul. It didn’t happen, so Trento closed the deal. “We fought, but physically and mentally we didn’t have the energy tonight – Coach Ettore Messina said after the game – The evidence was the way we played offensively, with some confusion and we also missed high-percentage shots.”

It was the first road loss in the Italian league, ending an exhausting week and a long road trip. Rodriguez led all the scorers with 18 points, Kevin Punter added 14. Even from the line, Olimpia missed some. Trento led most of the night, but never for more than six points. Olimpia took the lead in the middle of the third, but didn’t find the consistency to stay ahead. Then again, at the end, off Rodriguez fourth quarter hot shooting. But it wasn’t enough.
