A Dinamo with many players on holiday gives the green light to Varese. At PalaSerradimigni it ends 88-112. And they are whistles, even if shy. Goodbye to the championship playoffs after the third defeat in a row. A truly irritating performance from the team of an unarmed Markovic.
And president Stefano Sardara underlined this: «I apologize to the fans, sponsors and the Dinamo world for the shameful attitude of the team that did not take to the field. But the championship isn't over and there will be early training tomorrow morning."
Gombauld starts off making fire and flames in attack: 12 points in the 15-7 of the third minute. However, Dinamo doesn't defend and too many players seem poorly motivated. Kruslin preaches in the desert (two triples and 6 assists), while Jefferson is a ghost and Charalampopoulos too, Varese scores a 15-0 break that turns the game around.
In the second quarter the disaster continues and at -19 in the 12th minute the whistles start. They will be repeated at the end of a first half that ended 41-64 where the gap was also 27 points.
In the third quarter, some flashes from Tyree, Charalampopoulos and Gombauld (he closed the quarter with 28 points) only served to prevent the gap from breaking a record.
The last fraction is useless. It only serves to give the young Riccardo Pisano a few minutes and help Gombauld reach his career high, finishing with 31 points.
