Scafati's home defeat against Reggio Emilia has made Dinamo's salvation arithmetically official. The team from Sassari is +10 from Scafati, which has only four games left to play, and +12 from Pistoia, which has only five games left to play. Sunday's match at the PalaSerradimigni against Tortona (kick-off at 17:30) still has a weight for the white-blues' season, because finishing at least in tenth place means having some chance of making it to the European cups.
In theory the playoffs are still achievable, but in addition to a full house, three defeats by Tortona and Venezia would be needed .
In the first leg, Tortona won in a sprint 71-68 thanks above all to the forward Strautins (22 points) who will be absent due to a knee injury that ended his season early. Dinamo instead has recovered the big man Renfro, already used against Pistoia . The American declared: «I'm better and I have to say that I'm returning to a team where you can feel energy and conviction».
