The Sassari team takes a step back in the game. The aggressive defense is not enough against Brescia which proves to have more ideas in attack and passes in a 60% full PalaSerradimigni as per legislation: 65-76.
A wasted opportunity to stay in the group of the latter.
Dinamo is without the ailing Chessa and Devecchi, but presents Diop for the first time this season. The long man warms up but does not enter.
Better Brescia at the start with Mitrou-Long play that creates and scores: -5 at 8 '(9-14) with Moore's entry and additional free. Bendzius is the only one who initially makes the basket. Mekowulu helps him (excellent agreement with Logan) and Sassari goes on 22-20 at 13 '.
Bad game, there is a lot of running and little control of the ball. Della Valle and Mitrou-Long score from three and provoke the first real break in the match: 26-37 in the 18 '. Treier replies with 4 points in a row. Clemmons scores two free throws and it is only -5 but Moss slips the triple from the corner (as usual) and we go to the break at 32-40.
Upon returning, Bendzius takes over the team: scores on an offensive rebound and then provides Burnell with an assist for the draw, 41-41 in the 24th minute. But Brescia raises its head with a small quintet: only Cobbins as center and four guards who increase defensive pressure and pace. Magro's line-up touches up the +9 with a triple from Della Valle on an assist from a Mitrou-Long who masterfully directs the orchestra and also scores the point of the maximum guest advantage: +14 for Germani, after a break of 16 -2. The 2-3 zone called by Cavina has no effect because Brescia is good at turning the ball and also finding shots from three or four meters as Mossa does: 44-59.
Sassari goes into confusion and ends the fourth at -16.
Banco starts strong again in the last quarter, thanks to Gentile who also scores from three: -10. Gentile comes out and the attack goes into confusion: -15 in the 36th minute with Petrucelli's counterattack. The race ends here.
The scores.
