Dinamo honored the Europa Cup with their first win of the group in Zaragoza, 69-68. However, bad luck continued to plague the Sassari team, losing Thomas to an ankle injury just when the captain, with 14 points, was by far the best player of the game. It's worth noting that the Spanish team did not field Marco Spissu of Sassari.
Without two point guards, Pullen (with a stomach bug) and Buie, who was prudently left on the bench, Mrsic's team truly accomplished a feat, drawing a powerful performance from the Italians: 10 points from Visconti, 9 from Mezzanotte, 7 from Ceron, who also grabbed 6 rebounds, plus Vincini, who was invaluable in all phases of the game, including ball movement. Among the foreign players, after Thomas, Johnson was the most prolific: 7 points and 6 assists.
Banco started strong and immediately took a 5-13 lead, extending it to double digits in the second quarter: 25-39 at halftime. They held a maximum lead of +17 at the beginning of the third quarter, but then the very short rotations and the lack of a point guard made themselves felt. The Spanish comeback was slow but inexorable, until they overtook in the 38th minute at 68-67. Dinamo regained the lead thanks to McGlynn's offensive rebound and basket and then defended the victory.
