Triche shot 9-of-14 inside the arc and 7-of-10 from the 3-point line. He added five rebounds, four assists and three steals.

Trento closed out the best-of-five series 3-0 on Capo d'Orlando's home court. Triche had been averaging 21.5 points in the two previous games before his 43-point scoring binge today.

"I was really excited for him," said his dad, Melvin, who watched the game via the internet. "Because he played like he used to play — he just exploded. He was hitting his jumpers, he was working real hard on defense. He played a complete game."

Brandon Triche led Trento in scoring this season, his first as a professional, and has battled homesickness on his first extended trip abroad.

"He earned this," Melvin Triche said. "And I'm glad it came to him."
