Igokea celebrated their first win in this season’s Basketball Champions League, defeating Trieste 91-76 at home. The victory was powered by an outstanding game from American player Breein Tyree, who put on a scoring clinic for the fans.
🚀 A Strong Start Seals the Deal
Igokea came out strong and took control of the game right from the beginning. They dominated the first quarter with a score of 27-12, setting a commanding lead. Trieste struggled to catch up and only managed to get within nine points once during the match, but Igokea’s defense held firm, preventing any serious comeback threat.
