The Niners Chemnitz, a team in the German Basketball Bundesliga, has recorded its first road win of this EuroCup season. Coach Rodrigo Pastore’s team defeated Italian first-division club Dolomiti Energia Trento 88–80 (37–34) on Tuesday evening. Point guard Cobe Williams stood out for the Saxons with 30 points. The American sank seven three-pointers. After a closely contested first quarter, the visitors pulled ahead 27–17 (13th minute) with an 8–0 run to start the second quarter, but were unable to maintain that momentum. The hosts immediately countered with an 11-1 run to tie the score at 28-28 (17th minute). From then on, the game became fast-paced yet very hectic and error-prone, with numerous lead changes. Three consecutive three-pointers gave Chemnitz a 66–60 lead (33rd minute) at the start of the final quarter. The Italians didn’t give up and regained the lead with 136 seconds remaining (78–77). But the visitors kept their composure and made the better decisions on their final possessions. Copyright 2026, dpa (www.dpa.de). All rights reserved
