The usual away Dinamo loses against Tortona 79-62
The Sassari team plays well for 29 minutes but then gives in clearly
No turning point, Sassari remains shy on the road and loses the ninth away match out of ten. SA Casale Monferrato wins Tortona 79-62 who escapes with triples in the last quarter. The ranking thus remains anonymous, equidistant from the playoffs and the danger zone.
Balanced match in the first half: Charalampopoulos and Jefferson are lively in attack and when Cappelletti takes over a somewhat dull Tyree, Dinamo scores an 11-1 break which takes them from 18-14 to 19-25 in the 9th minute.
Tortona uses the three-point shot a lot and does well because it has 6/11: 33-30 in the 14th minute. Jefferson's 5 points put the score back on par: 37-37 at the break.
Upon returning after the break, Sassari loses three balls in a row and Tortona with Severini and Strautins gives the first real shock to the match: 48-39 in the 24th minute. Cappelletti's entry restores tone to the attack and McKinnie also has an impact: 50-48 in the 28th minute. Tortona, however, has a surge and as already in the first quarter scores a three at the end, this time with Ross: Sassari ends up at -9 and that gap sends the Banco into a tailspin which ends up heavily trailed in the last quarter confirming the difficulties in attack when it is far from PalaSerradimigni.
