The poker of successes is worth staying in Serie A. With the victory in Pistoia by 86-63, Dinamo moves to +12 from the Tuscans and to +10 from Scafati who in the five remaining games still has to face Brescia, Virtus Bologna and Milan. In short, all that's missing is the comfort of mathematics, but now it's done.
The first half was balanced, with the third quarter featuring a 12-0 run courtesy of Bendzius and Bibbins who split the game: 33 points between the two.
Chronicle - Bad start: only Vincini scores, his teammates go 0/7 while Forres scores two triples: 8-2 for Pistoia. The playmaker Bibbins increases the pace, the substitutions Cappelletti and Thomas give the jolt and Dinamo shoots ahead: 13-18' at 9'.
In the second quarter there is Renfro but Paschall weighs 30 kilos more and dominates in the area: 19-20 at 13'. Two triples by Allen fuel the Tuscans who go to +5. Sassari shoots terribly from the arc (1/10) but gets closer dragged by Bibbins . Thomas and Vincini already have two fouls, but with three playmakers on the court the team goes anyway and Bibbins from the free throw line brings Banco back in front despite the horrible percentages from the arc: 1/11. Bendizus remembers he is a shooter and makes two triples.
After the break, the Lithuanian winger scores again and together with Bibbins builds the first breakaway: 32-46 at 24'. The advantage also reaches +15 with Tambone's counterattack.
The game is firmly in the hands of the white and blues and the triple by Fobbs gives the +21 with Pistoia now frayed. There is also time to witness a triple by the young Trucchetti.
