Banco di Sardegna does his duty, but the other results do not help him, because Tortona takes Brindisi and therefore, by virtue of the 2-0, keeps the biancoblù in sixth place. The coup of Varese for 110-96 certifies however the excellent season finale of Bucchi's team that in the playoffs will meet Brescia, third force of the championship and therefore with the home factor in the eventual fifth challenge.

Few thrills in the last race of the regular season. It begins with Bilan dominating inside the area against the wings of the house lined up as long. Bendzius 'triple gives the maximum advantage: +6, 12-18 at 8'. The defense, however, is not very bad (no foul in the first ten minutes) and De Nicola propitiates the 7-0 which puts the situation back in balance, with Reyes who continues to score consistently. Beane's triple brings Varese forward: 24-22 at 12 '.

In the second quarter the biancoblù attack struggles and the absence of Bednzius and Bilan is felt: - 5 at 15 'with De Nicolao very hot.

The return of Burnell and Robinson restores confidence to Banco who puts his nose back forward: 36-34 at 17 '. Bilan also returns and is +9 for Dinamo.

In the third quarter it is a shooting from the arch: two triples by Bendzius and a full pitch by Bilan for Robinson, for the maximum advantage, +15: 52-67 at 24 '. The Banco also goes to +18 with Bendzius and Logan making hail inside the Lombard basket.

In the last fraction, the game is played thinking only of the attack. Sassari also reaches +21 and reaches 100 with Gentile when there are still 4'44 "left.
