Trentino fought hard, led by Gabi Garcia’s 12 points and also solid efforts from Alessandro Michieletto and Daniel Lavia, also in double digit with 11 and 10 points, respectively, but faltered in the final moments of each set.
The series continues with Game 3 on Sunday, May 4 in Trento, and Game 4 returning to Civitanova Marche on Wednesday, May 7.
