This time he starts badly but from the second quarter he grinds the game and takes the victory away from Brescia. The Sassari team wins 91-85 and brings the series to 1-1. Now two races at PalaSerradimigni to try to win the championship semifinal.

Dinamo really good at varying intensity and game themes during the match, especially with Robinson and Logan who grew up after a mediocre first half. Six players in double figures testifying to a team victory. Too bad for the blow to the chest remedied by Diop, hopefully it will be recoverable in a very short time.

The chronicle - Same quintets, but coach Bucchi reverses the scoring: Kruslin goes on Mitrou-Long and Robinson on Della Valle. The hottest is Petrucelli who with two triples drags Brescia to 10-3 in the 3 ', while Bilan came out a minute earlier for two fouls (one to say the least bizarre). Bendzius and Diop try to restore tone to Banco in attack (17-13) but between the loss of Robinson first and those of Logan then, the Sassari team undergoes the transition of the hosts who with Della Valle spread to +11, also because no one scores three for Dinamo.

In the second quarter Burnell goes to play in the low post scoring three times (Bendzius' triple in the middle) and Sassari approaches 28-27 in the 14th minute. The match gets dirty, refereeing in doubt is spent at home: technical in Gentile, unsportsmanlike in Burnell, but Brescia does not take full advantage of it: 33-29 in the 15 '. Bilan takes Banco to -2, but Mitrou-Long scores 5 in a row. Brescia goes to +10, but a triple from Robinson and Bendzius from the line make the gap at rest acceptable: 45-41.

In the third quarter Sassari involves Bilan and above all Robinson lights up: entry and triple and it is the first advantage, 50-54 in the 26 '. Sassari tries to escape: stolen by Kruslin for the +8 which ends the break from 11-0.

Petrucelli is very inspired and makes 5 in a row. But Dinamo have the inertia and go in double figures with two free throws from Logan: 55-65 in the 29th minute.

In the last quarter Sassari rises again in tone: +14 with a triple from Logan. Brescia tries to react but no longer has the same aim from beyond the arc. Then play with the two long Cobbins and Brown. The hosts seem doomed but Mitrou-Long shoots two triples from seven meters and an entry, then there is Brown's offensive rebound and Sassari's advantage is only by one point. On the triple from Bendzius that goes on the iron tap in Burnell's masterpiece that also marks the free: 85-89 at 40 ”from the end. Devecchi defends well on Mitrou-Long in the last action and then Bilan crushes.
