Five teams with Dinamo competing for fourth place
Sassari is in the best shape, six victories in seven races, and is the best placed so far thanks to head to head matches
The leaders Milan and Virtus Bologna have separated, even if with the Euroleague underway they occasionally block the game. Tortona is solid in third place. The pileup is at 22 points, where five teams simultaneously occupy positions from fourth to eighth. Dinamo is the best placed of all so far thanks to direct clashes: they are ahead of all (Pesaro, Trento and Brindisi) except Varese, but with the possibility of overturning the -6 in a few weeks at the PalaSerradimigni.
Bucchi's team is also the one in the best shape: six wins in the last seven matches: four times with at least 90 points and twice over 100. The attack has risen to 86 points on average, second in Serie A behind that of Varese .
The most comforting aspect is that Dinamo won without using their most powerful weapon, the three-point shot, which sees them lead the league in accuracy with 42.6% on an average of 26 attempts. Well, against Reyer the biancoblù scored only 5 triples out of 14 attempted, the minimum of the season, yet they won 90-81. Merit of the record in two-point shots for attempts and baskets: 31/56, 55% thanks to the precision of the big men Diop and Stephens but also to the penetrations of the guards Robinson and Dowe.
