Trento Steals Victory in Klaipėda
Darius Brown II orchestrated a hard-fought 76-73 victory for Trento in Klaipėda, pouring in 19 points and grabbing four crucial steals to down Neptunas.
In a regular-season clash with no immediate standings implications, the game saw both teams locked at 36-36 by halftime, before Trento established an eight-point lead entering the final period (51-59).
The third quarter proved decisive, with Trento outscoring Neptunas 23-15 to build their advantage. Despite Neptunas enjoying a commanding 51-41 rebounding advantage and getting 31 points from their bench, their own shooting woes (34% FG, 29% 3P) and 18 turnovers proved costly. Neptunas also struggled to contain Trento's 11 steals. While Yannick Franke contributed 13 points and five rebounds, and Donatas Tarolis added 12 points, Trento's offensive firepower, led by Quincy Olivari's 23 points, proved too much. Brown II’s efficiency, complemented by four assists, ultimately sealed the three-point win (73-76).
The victory marks a positive start to Trento's European campaign.
