Here it is the fifth win in a row for a Sassari team that maybe doesn't shine but manages to be constant for all 40 minutes. The coup in Scafati for 90-80 keeps Dinamo in the running for fourth place, which they share with Varese.
A much tougher match than the score suggests, but if the bells were led by the ex Logan (23 points), Banco had a lighthouse in Dowe who in addition to 22 points and also distributed 7 assists.
Coach Bucchi deploys Raspino in the spot of “3” given the absence of Jones due to a slight ankle injury. Dinamo reacts to the first two baskets from Campania with a 10-0 break. Stephens' dunk is worth +8: 9-17 in the 7th minute.
Scafati recovers thanks to free throws (21-23) but the bench extends again in the second quarter with two triples by Treier and an irrepressible Dowe for the new +8: 26-34. The former Logan leads the comeback of the hosts (12 points) and at the break the score is set at 42-46 by a tackle by Gentile.
Upon returning to the field, Logan is unleashed and overtakes with 5 points. Bendzius reacts and Banco manages to have +6 several times but misses a little too much in attack. Logan's bomb and Mian's lucky one on the siren with carom on the scoreboard put the score back in balance: 62-62.
In the last fraction Dinamo remained lucid and even shot up +10 in the 36th minute with a triple from central Kruslin with the help of the scoreboard. It's Stone from outside who keeps Scafati alive, but Diwe's triple with a free throw at 57 seconds closes it definitively by digging up +10.
