The leaders Virtus Bologna fell in Trieste, let alone if they could not lose Sassari (without Jones and Kruslin and with Robinson halved) on the Verona field, never violated from the A2 onwards. However, the 87-74 defeat against Tezenis left Dinamo in fourth place, which, in the same standings with Varese, has the best points difference in direct matches.

Six games from the end , even three successes could be enough to keep the fourth position which gives the right to a possible home championship in the quarter-finals.

Bucchi's team will face Treviso, Trieste and Reggio Emilia at home, while they will have three almost prohibitive away games: Brindisi, Bologna and Milan.

The important thing is to recover the injured. Kruslin's return appears very probable, but little is known about the Jones wing, who has been out for a month due to a physical problem. Either recovery can be guaranteed within about ten days, or it will be appropriate to return to the market for a winger, perhaps a flexible player who knows how to cover the positions of guard and winger.
