Trieste edges out Baskonia 98–94 in a hard-fought battle
In a thrilling matchup, Trieste secured a 98–94 victory over Spanish side Baskonia. The game remained tightly contested throughout, with both teams trading baskets and momentum.
Trieste set the tone early, narrowly winning the first quarter, which gave them the confidence to stay in control. The third quarter proved just as decisive, as Trieste once again managed to edge ahead, creating just enough separation on the scoreboard.
Baskonia, however, refused to back down. Despite facing roster challenges due to injuries and illnesses, they fought hard until the end. In fact, they outscored Trieste in the fourth quarter, mounting a late push to close the gap. Still, their comeback attempt fell short as Trieste held firm in the final minutes.
Baskonia’s struggles were compounded by missing key players in their rotation. For instance, forward Mamadi Diakite was unavailable after being hospitalized, leaving the team with fewer options and forcing heavier minutes on the rest of the squad.
With this win, Trieste showed resilience in crucial moments, while Baskonia will look to recover both on and off the court as they await the return of their sidelined players.
Do you think Trieste will win again in there next season?
