A Dinamo that cannot find a precise identity and a true leader is almost out of the Champions League . In Dijon, the hosts win 88-80 . In theory there is the possibility of grabbing at least third place for the playoff, but it will be necessary to win at home against Paok and precisely Dijon.

Bad approach for the Banco that loses 5 balls and ends up under 9-2 at 3 '. After Bucchi's time out, the biancoblù regain their attention and go back up pushed by the energetic Jones and a triple from Bendzius (14-14) but the defense leaves something to be desired and there are 8 turnovers in the first quarter . The hosts closed with a double digit gap: 31-21.

Dinamo also ends at -11 in the 16 'before a triple from Chessa revives him. Onuaku remembers that in defense he knows how to stop and intimidates. Bendzius cut, the only sharp one of a Kruslin with little aim and here at the interval the blues and whites are only down by one length, 45-44 .

In the third quarter Chessa scores again and Onuaku wins the free throws of the draw (52-52) but then Sassari fails the overtaking basket for at least three times and so the Simon-Ware couple gives back the command to Dijon: 64-59.

In the last fraction 3 losses by Banco make the French gain altitude and the lead is -12 . Jones finds confidence in his shot but too many baskets are granted on an offensive rebound and in the duel between the two pivots at the end Ware prevails over Onuaku and is defeated.
