Treviso reached the century mark behind sharp ball movement, strong inside play and timely perimeter shooting.

Match overview

Treviso started brightly and led 27-21 after the first quarter. Udine stayed competitive by attacking the basket and drawing fouls, but Treviso’s depth began to show in the second period. The hosts took a 51-43 lead into halftime and then blew the game open with a dominant stretch after the break.

The third quarter was the turning point. Treviso increased its defensive pressure, forced Udine into contested shots and converted rebounds into quick offense.

Key moments

Tactical story

Treviso’s offense was built on paint touches and kick-out passes. The hosts repeatedly drove into the lane, drew help defenders and found open shooters on the perimeter. That inside-out approach kept Udine’s defense off balance and produced a high number of quality attempts. Treviso also won the rebounding battle, limiting Udine’s second-chance opportunities.

Udine had success when it played through its frontcourt and attacked the offensive glass, but the team’s half-court defense struggled to contain Treviso’s guards. Turnovers in the third quarter allowed Treviso to play in transition, where the hosts were especially dangerous.

Standout players

Luca Bianchi led Benetton Treviso with 24 points, hitting several important shots during the third-quarter run. Matteo Rinaldi added 19 points and eight rebounds, while Andrea Moretti contributed 15 points and seven assists. For Snaidero Cucine Udine, Davide Conti scored 20 points and Marco Bellini added 17, but the visitors could not match Treviso’s depth.

Season impact

The win strengthens Benetton Treviso’s position in the Lega Basket Serie A table and reinforces the team’s ability to score efficiently at home. A 102-point performance is a clear warning to future opponents, especially when Treviso’s bench contributes as it did on this night. Snaidero Cucine Udine will look to tighten its defense and reduce turnovers before the next round, while Treviso will aim to carry the momentum into its next fixture.
