Eurocup women's basketball: Tenerife beats Dinamo 88-56
Without the American Shepard, the Sassari team only lasts for a while
Defeat that puts Dinamo almost out of the women's EuroCup that suffered on the field of Tenerife. The Spanish won 88-56 repeating the first leg victory.
For the Sassari team the regret of not being able to field the American Jessica Shepard. Without his center and best rebounder, Restivo's team had to play practically only or almost on the outside. After an excellent start (7-0 and 9-2 for Arioli and teammates) the handicap of the absence of one of the best pivots in the European cups made itself felt. Tenerife took advantage of a very tough defense and counterattack to get back into the game (21-19 in the first quarter) and then in the second fraction they annihilated Sassari who collected a break of 19-2: 40-21 in the 18 '.
Upon returning to the field after the long interval there is no more match and the coach Restivo also gives space to the bench: Dinamo drops to -35 due to another long black out in attack.
In the last fraction the rhythms drop.
