Only mathematics keeps alive the hope of avoiding Serie A2. Dinamo suffers its sixth straight defeat, and this time it's not even a game, as Venice takes a double-digit lead in the first quarter. The game finishes 79-98 in a PalaSerradimigni with a decent crowd, but the cheering doesn't last long, just like the white-and-blue defense, which manages to concede 52 points.

The gap between point guard Cole and, above all, forwards Parks and Wiltjer was too wide, as they dominated their respective opponents in the first three quarters, with Marshall stuck at 4 points and Thomas at 5, while their respective opponents combined for 37 points.

Ceron's grit (9 points and a great defense), the only one warmly applauded by the fans, wasn't enough; too many players were below par to worry a team like Venezia, which is third and can compete on equal terms with the big teams for the championship.
