How Udine Built the Win

Snaidero Cucine Udine were the more cohesive team for long stretches.

The second quarter was the turning point. After Treviso briefly threatened to take the lead, Udine responded with a sustained run that pushed the margin into double figures.

Tactical Story

Udine’s defensive game plan centered on disrupting Treviso’s rhythm at the top of the key. They switched aggressively on screens, closed out hard on shooters, and forced Treviso into contested mid-range attempts. That pressure contributed to a lower shooting percentage for the hosts and limited their ability to string together consecutive scoring possessions.

On offense, Udine shared the ball effectively and finished with a balanced scoring attack. Their ability to score inside and out made them difficult to guard, especially when Treviso’s help defense arrived late. The visitors also controlled the defensive glass in crucial moments, denying Benetton Treviso the second-chance points that could have made the finish more tense.

Benetton Treviso showed flashes of quality, particularly in the third quarter when they increased their pace and attacked the rim. However, their half-court execution wavered in the fourth, and Udine’s veteran decision-making closed the door.

Standout Players

Snaidero Cucine Udine received a complete team effort. Luca Marini led the way with 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, consistently finding seams in Treviso’s defense.
