Another clear defeat in the Champions League for Sassari: Tenerife wins 87-60 in San Cristobal. The Banco therefore remains at zero points and will probably have to contend with Bilan's prometey for the last ticket for the second round.
Disappointing performance that of Cavina's team, who disappeared from the field in the second quarter collecting a 20-2 break from which he never gets up again.
This time the Banco disputes an excellent first quarter, made up of defense and baskets by guards Clemmons and Gentile. The advantage also touches +5 with a hook from Borra at 8: 10-15. From this moment the Spaniards begin to defend better and increase the intensity. Sassari goes into the ball and suffers a break in the second quarter of 20-2, with the former Virtus Bologna Gamble dominating in the area with 10 points: 35-19. At rest, Cavina's team goes on -17.
After the break there is no shock: the Fitipaldo-Gamble axis does what it wants against a disheartened and compliant Sassari: 47-23 at 23 '. The gap also touches -25.
In the last quarter, two triples by Bendzius seem to be able to reopen the games, but Tenerife with the double play Fitipaldo-Huertas starts to grind the game and closes it with the maximum advantage.
