Doubly celebrated because it was unexpected. The victory at PalaSerradimigni over Virtus Bologna by 76-68 allows Sassari to remain equidistant from the playoffs (-6) and salvation (+6). Massimo Bulleri's winning debut as head coach provided the image of a team with a clearer mind than in the previous days.

Now it is necessary to conquer Scafati on Sunday to remove any fear of getting caught up in the fight for salvation, which currently sees the quartet formed by Pistoia, Cremona, Napoli (in a great comeback) and Scafati.

But first there is the penultimate match of the Europe Cup : tomorrow at 20.30 Le Portel arrives at the PalaSerradimigni. A useless match because Dinamo is now out of the minor European cups and the French are also cut off.

It will be an opportunity to give more space to the Italians Vincini, Veronesi, but also Trucchetti and some other young players , granting a playing time of no more than 20 minutes to the centre Halilovic and the winger Bendzius, so as to have them at the top of their game on Sunday in Scafati.
