Riga women's basketball team TTT Riga lost 72:91 on Thursday, 29 October, in their own arena to Italy's Umana Reyer of Venice in a group-stage game of the Eurocup, a European club competition for women's teams. The Italian side is described as one of the strongest teams in its country.

How the game unfolded

The second quarter went badly for the hosts. During that stretch they fell behind by 28 points, which suggested a one-sided result.

The Latvian team nevertheless fought back. Before the last quarter began, TTT Riga had cut the deficit to just four points, so the outcome was still open.

In the closing period, however, the visitors from Venice restored a convincing lead. The game ended with a 19-point margin in favour of the Italian club.

The result is a home defeat in the group stage. The source gives no further details about individual players' performances or the teams' positions in the standings.
