The most beautiful and perhaps most important victory of the season. Dinamo defeated Pesaro in overtime 96-87. A victory that relaunched the Sassari team into the playoffs and delighted the PalaSerradimigni crowd like never before this early in the season.
The first quarter was played out between breaks (2-8), counterbreaks (13-3), and counterbreaks (7-0). The balance was more evident in the second and third sets, where neither player managed to break away, but the white-and-blues were almost always in the lead, with Grande, Brooks, and Riisma joined by Michele Vitali and Aromando.
Dinamo could have won in regulation time, but at +4 they lost two balls and were forced into overtime. In overtime, Michele Vitali was a killer (he scored 20 points), and the Sassari team was decidedly more focused. Also noteworthy were Brooks' 17 points, Grande and Aromando's 15, and Riismaa's 13.
