Easy victory for Sassari who finds teamwork and defense again. Don't deceive the final 86-76 because the lead has also reached +25. Encouraging the debut of the full-back Stephens, ex Cagliari in A2, and Treier's seasonal debut was really good three months after the operation on his right elbow after the injury with the Estonian national team.

Compact in defense and with a fiery handed Bendzius (4/4 from three) Sassari immediately takes off: 17-8 and also +10 when Nikolic joins the show, while Logan goes blank (0/6) well controlled now from Kruslin, now from Jones.

Banco plays well, with order and when Robinson also starts to score, the gap becomes important : 42-25 in the 18th minute with Bendzius' fifth bomb. Sassari drops and Scafati also thanks for the many free throws in his favor (as many as 13) to halve the delay to rest.

Scafati returns tough in defense (47-43 in the 22nd minute) but as Bendzius and Jones go back to punching holes in the retina from the arc, the match goes downhill for Dinamo which also reaches +20.

In the last fraction Chessa warms up the PalaSerradimigni with three bombs: +25 in the 36th minute. Professor Logan takes care of reducing the detachment to more digestible proportions for the guests.
