Sassari wins again at the PalaSerradimigni: 89-77 on a more difficult Reggio Emilia than what the rankings say. Bucchi's team can therefore still hope for fourth place and the home factor in the match against Venice in the quarter-finals of the Scudetto.

Sassari is again without point guard Robinson, who is accusing the umpteenth physical problem of a troubled season. Reggio Emilia makes Andre Jones debut, hired to cover the injuries of Anim and the former biancoblù Vitali.

Balanced first quarter. Initially it looks like a duel between Diouf and Stephens (8 points each). Then Jamal Jones also enters. The Sassari changes are better than the guests' changes: Diop gives a hand and is also +5, which becomes +8 at the beginning of the second quarter with the bombs of Gentile and Chessa. Meanwhile almost two minutes for the young Pisano.

Reggio Emilia replies with Strautins for the 8-0 mini break, against the blue and white reply with the Dowe-Jones index for the 9-0 which leads to the maximum gap: 38-29 in the 16th minute. Dinamo played the last minutes of the first half with Treier as centre. And the gap grows further because he takes advantage of the many open shots from the bow: +15.

In the third quarter Dinamo seems to be able to close it and also goes up +18 in the 23' again with the Dowe-Jones couple, but Olisevicius drags his team to a comeback: 66-63 in the 30' before Dowe's three-pointer.

In the last quarter Dowe and Kruslin make Dinamo regain altitude which reaches +16 in the 36th minute, also calming the spirits of a match soiled by an incomprehensible arbitration for both because it was too changeable and inconsistent.
