Dinamo is trying to push beyond its limitations, which are primarily in terms of squad size. Tomorrow at 4:00 PM, it's also hoping for the support of the PalaSerradimigni fans to try and secure a victory against Tortona, which would improve its confidence as the season draws to a close, with all four teams in the top four facing off.

The first leg is still a raw wound. Both because of Marshall's injury, which had led the home team to a comeback victory (23 points), and because of the blatantly home-grown refereeing, which allowed the Piedmontese team 52 free throws compared to the white-and-blues' 19.

Coach Mrsic is without forward Marshall and captain Thomas. Point guard Pullen is also a serious doubt, while point guard Buie returns, becoming the team's main anchor. A point-for-point finish is not recommended, given that Tortona has won eight of its ten games.
