There was nothing at stake between two teams already out of the Europe Cup, but Dinamo wanted to show that something is changing and in the second half they rolled Le Portel: 88-70.
Coach Bulleri, who also debuted as a winner in the European Cup, rotated ten players with balance. Top scorers Veronesi with 19 points, Fobbs with 18 and Gazi with 16 points.
The excellent start of the all-foreign quintet from Sassari (11-2) is not enough because the French with the full-court zone press and especially with the towers Nunge and Boyer get underway and go ahead: 17-19 at the 8th minute.
In the second quarter, Veronesi with his triples and a counterattack dunk by Cappelletti gave the inertia back to Banco, who however was unable to shake off Le Portel: 46-43 at half time.
In the third quarter Fobbs has a torrid hand and from the arc launches the escape that Vincini refines for the 67-53 of the 29th. In the last quarter Banco di Sardegna dominates against the French now mentally exhausted. The eighteen year old Trucchetti also enters and signs the +24.
