Smooth ball circulation, improved shooting keep Trento’s playoff hopes alive

Coming into Tuesday’s clash against Trefl Sopot, Dolomiti Energia Trento had won just three of its 10 games this season. What those three victories had in common was that they were all achieved on home soil, as Trento hadn’t managed to win any of its four road clashes until its trip to Poland for the BKT EuroCup Round 11 clash at Ergo Arena.
To come out victorious from the game against Trefl, Trento was aware that it needed to improve both its ball circulation and scoring percentages. Heading into the duel, Trento averaged just 13.5 assists, the second-lowest mark in the league, and shot with a league-low 28.2% from beyond the arc.
But this time Trento shared the ball well, recorded a season-high 21 assists and got some great open looks that allowed them to better their three-point percentage.
“We played well,” head coach Paolo Galbiati said after the game. “We shared the ball a lot. I think we shot very well on three-pointers. A lot of them were good-quality [triples].”
The Italian side ended the duel with a solid 37.5% shooting from beyond the arc, having scored 12 triples, which is both a season-high in threes made and tied for sixth-most in the club’s history. The player who stood out by firing on all cylinders from deep was Jordan Ford, who went 4-for-6 from deep to finish the duel with a game-high 19 points.
“When you get it going from downtown it’s a nice feeling,” Ford said after the game. “My teammates did a good job of finding me, we all shared the ball and everybody got a chance to get some three shots.”

Dolomiti Energia Trento-7-bet Lietkabelis Panevezys | Round 13 Highlights | 2023-24 BKT EuroCup
Having registered its first road win in 2024-25, Trento has kept its playoff hopes alive by improving its record to 4-7 with seven games to go.
“[Getting the first road win is] something we’ve been harboring on, something we’ve wanted to accomplish,” Ford added. “We just want to build off of it from here and try to get as many wins on the road as we can.”
Next up comes a trip to Montenegro, where Trento will face Buducnost VOLI Podgorica in a tough Round 12 encounter. Should the Italians replicate this ball circulation and maintain a solid percentage from behind the rainbow, they could manage to record two straight wins for the first time this season.
