In the Europe Cup, Dinamo is feeling at ease and wins their third of four games at the PalaSerradimigni: 89-72 over Sporting Lisbon. The Sassari team had a clearer head and a strong response, with top scorers Thomas (18 points), Johnson, and Marshall (17 each).

Report - While waiting for Croatian Veljko Mrsic, Massimiliano Oldoini is on the bench. The starting five is the same, but with a different energy and more ball circulation. Sassari begins to pull away and continues to do so even when all the bench players come on: 23-15 at the 9th minute and 29-20 at the 12th. Lisbon is overwhelmed by Banco's intensity, which runs away to a 20-point lead, led by Marshall, but the good news is that everyone except Seck scored at halftime: 55-41.

The Portuguese comeback continued in the third quarter, closing in on a 17-2 run to 55-52 by the 24th minute. Coach Oldoini began to rally the Italians to reach a "total white" starting lineup, and Beliauskas helped them regain a double-digit lead. In the final quarter, center Johns made a strong showing under the basket, but as soon as Vincini returned, he was thwarted. Their shooting percentages dropped, but the game was now firmly in Banco's hands.
