Jan Rohdewald and Earl Rowland both scored 12 points for Artland while Darious Hall and Adam Chubb tallied 10 points each and Leon Rodgers chipped in 9 points and 11 rebounds in a losing cause. Artland Dragons finishes its ULEB Cup season at home against BC Kyiv and Treviso travels to ASK Riga.

Hall opened the scoring for the guests, who jumped ahead 1-8 after a pair of three-pointers by Rohdewald. But Chalmers scored eight points in a 14-0 run for a 15-8 lead. Chalmers also made a three-pointer as Treviso pushed the lead to 22-9. It was 22-11 after one period. Andrea Renzi started a 7-0 run to begin the second period as Soragna's triple made it 29-11. Another Soragna long ball made it 35-15. And the hosts did not stop as a Mordente three-ball and four points by Chalmers pushed the cushion to 45-20 late in first half, which ended 47-22. Hall's three-point play started the second half but Benetton's hot shooting from the outside kept Artland at bay. Tamoil was up 56-29 after a Gaines basket and it was 63-35 after a Gaines triple. Dragons did trim it to 65-42 going into the fourth. And Chubb's basket to begin the final period cut the deficit to 65-44. But Giuliano Maresca answered right back with a three-ball. Another Chalmers long ball pushed the advantage to 73-46 and Artland could not come back against the Tamoil reserves. Rowland's triple trimmed the margin to 19 points - 77-58 - with just more than two minutes left. But Mordente answered with a long ball of his own to re-establish the 20-plus gap.

Head Coaches

MAHMUTI, OKTAY

Benetton Tamoil

"We were able to control the game in every feature from the beginning, that's why the gap was so important. We let things get easier during the match, we played a good game both defensively and offensively, this is the way we have to get the pass for the next round."

FLEMING, CHRIS

Artland Dragons

"We didn't come into the game and we were in trouble every time against a team which was really aggressive expecially in defense. We have trouble with some injured players, like Madrich and Chubb, and Benetton Basket made a better job adjusting to the situation of many injured players. Now we will have a full week to prepare for the game against Kiev, we hope to get better."

"It was a good game for us, we needed this win to make sure about the qualification. The key for the win? Being always aggressive and focused on what we had to do during the game, so we always had the pace in our hands."

CHUBB, ADAM

Artland Dragons

"Nothing worked tonight in our system, congratulations to Benetton Basket which played great defense, they didn't let us have easy ways to the basket, that was the key of the game tonight."
