Trieste to Host Roma at PalaTrieste

Pallacanestro Trieste will host BC Roma at PalaTrieste on Sunday at 12:00. The Biancorossi come into the match after beating Virtus Bologna 100-93 at PalaDozza last Monday. Trieste won the game despite Bologna building a ten-point lead in the second period, finding their rhythm again in the second half.

Trieste head coach Francesco Taccetti sees the team's reaction in the Bologna game as positive. Taccetti says the team did not give up during a difficult moment and kept playing its own game. In his view, this performance boosts the team's confidence in itself.

Roma stand out under Alessandro Magro for their offensive power. Taccetti says the team has the league's best offense and is very good at moving the ball. The roster includes names such as Nico Mannion, Kelly Olynyk, Erik Stevenson and Corey Davis. Since Davis previously wore the Trieste jersey, this match will be a return game for him.

Roma recently beat Tortona 108-70 and Scafati 103-90. In EuroCup, they won 92-87 against Lietkabelis Panevėžys. According to Taccetti, Trieste's most important task will be to stop the opponent's penetrations and keep the game under control by organizing the team defense very well.
