Dinamo suffers another dramatic defeat: Varese loses its fifth straight game, 91-90.

Another dramatic defeat. The home team lost 91-90 in Varese, and their fifth straight loss seems to indicate that Dinamo is the most serious candidate for relegation. The Sassari team is to blame: a defense that was too soft in the first half and nine missed free throws. The home team's refereeing was also to blame. In Cantù, a push on Macon's final shot was ignored, a move that was much more visible than Ceron's near miss, resulting in a foul on Iroegbu, nullifying McGlynn's block. A single free throw was enough for the home team to win the game.

A terrible joke and perhaps the decisive psychological blow for Banco di Sardegna, who conceded too much in defense in the first half (51-42) and then came back into the game after the break, even reaching +5 at 33' but unable to escape, partly due to Varese's merit, partly due to shortcomings from the free throw line.

The final minutes were truly tense: Buie was blocked by former player Renfro, but McGlynn recovered and scored to tie the score at 90-90 with four seconds remaining. The home team called a timeout to play the ball in the offensive half and relied on Iroegbu's drive, which was barely touched by Cerone, blocked by McGlynn. However, overtime was not called because the referees saw the Italian winger's foul.

Five players scored in double figures: McGlynn 14 points, Macon 13, Buie and Beliauskas 12, and Thomas 10. Visconti was also absent due to injury.
