There was a game missing in Italy’s Serie A.
And Virtus Bologna had no problem getting another win to stay at the top.
The team coached by Dusko Ivanovic easily defeated Treviso 79-101.
After a rough game in Palau Blaugrana against Barça, Derrick Alston Jr. had one of his best games as a Virtus player and finished with 25 points and 4 rebounds. Carsen Edwards added 15 points.
Osvaldas Olisevicius (15 p.), Cruise Pinkins (15 p.), and David Torresani (12 p.) were the home team’s top scorers.
After a close first half (45-51), Virtus wanted to secure the win as soon as possible, and they did that in the third quarter with a defensive masterpiece.
The away team conceded only 9 points in 10 minutes, increasing the lead to a comfortable double-digit lead and making the fourth quarter a mere formality.
After the games of Round 8 last weekend, all Serie A teams have played every round.
STANDINGS: Brescia (7-1), Virtus Bologna (7-1), Trapani Sharks (7-1), Reyer Venecia (6-2), Tortona (6-2), Olimpia Milano (5-3)…
