Dinamo Sassari does not grow, on the contrary, for more than a time it looks like a team in crisis, so much so that it ends at -24. He raised his head in the last quarter with the defense, pride and many individual initiatives of Logan and Battle, so much so that the 94-81 for Ludwigsburg is even a not too heavy defeat. But coach Cavina and the club must reflect on a group that shows more difficulties today than a couple of weeks ago.
The first quarter is bad for Banco, who first fails to stop guard Radebaugh (11 points in 15-10) then gets lost in attack where he appears slow and with few ideas, so much so that he closes at -15, 27-12.
The gap in the second quarter also touches -18 because Cavina's team fails to keep the Germans in defense, in attack it is confusing and rebound is overwhelmed: 16-3. The gap becomes awkward at 17 ': 46-24. The presence of Mekowulu in the area and the individual initiatives of Logan and Battle allow to reduce something: 53-36.
In the third quarter it is Battle with his energy to try to shake his teammates and score: 55-40, then -24 and then 68-53 after Logan's triple.
The last quarter is Dinamo's best from a defensive point of view: Logan is amazing and with a recovered ball from Bendzius he is -12, but only 4 pinuti are missing. The aim of Bendzius and Battle from the bow remains disastrous (1/11) and Ludwigsburg, albeit with some worries, manages to keep the victory.
