Loses with honor on the field of the vice-leader. Virtus Bologna beats Dinamo 95-85, which remains precarious in the standings. Too close to the relegation zone and very far from the Final 8 of the Italian Cup.
The Sassari team played very well for 18 minutes: great defense and in attack Bendzius and Halilovic launched the escape that Cappelletti brought up to +9, 29-38. Just before the break, Virtus' comeback begins and becomes impetuous in the third quarter: Pajola and Belinelli bring Bologna ahead, Shengelia widens the score to 57-47 in the 25th minute. Veronesi scores 9 points in a row and closes the gap to -1 but Cordinier responds with 7 points.
In the last quarter Dinamo continued to fight but did not go beyond two baskets of gap and in the end had to give in.
Halilovic was the top scorer with 19 points and also 7 rebounds, Veronesi was excellent with 15 points, while Bendzius scored 17 but was tired in the second half. Cappelletti also had a good offensive performance: 12 points.
