Banco gets his energy back in the second quarter with Diop making himself respected in the area and Robinson sharp in attack: 40-33 in the 18th minute. Diop comes out and the last two minutes are with a quintet that has few points, Trieste thanks and gets closer: 43-42 in the middle of the match.
In the third quarter we start again with the starting quintet and Bendzius lights up: three triples. Dowe follows and the break of 21-4 brings Banco up 16, up 64-48 in the 26th minute.
