The win in the first leg 85-67 with Grengewald for is a very good start for the debutante Dinamo. Especially since the Sassari team played without the two long foreigners: the Slovenian Trebec and the American Shepard. The first half of the American Lucas (24 points) and the playmaker Moroni (3/3 in the triples) was amazing. The defense was very aggressive throughout the match in order to keep up the pace and prevent the Luxembourgers from taking advantage of the greater tonnage.
Very intense race right from the start. Dinamo defends an aggressive man even on cuts, the Luxembourgers often change between man and area. The balance remains until 8 '. The home guards better than their counterparts, but under the basket Mathias exploits height and very long arms: 13-13. The small Sassarese break is propitiated by the triple from Moroni and the charge of the Yankee Lucas (11 points in the first quarter): +9 at 9 '.
In the second quarter Lucas and Moroni continue to rage: 37-22 at 14 '. The Grengewald has only the two foreigners to oppose: Mathias and Brown have signed 18 points, the rest of the team just 4. The Banco also rises to +16 (and Lucas already has 24 points) before the 48-36 of the rest.
In the third quarter the guests defend better but fail to go below the double figures and the Sassari team controls: 59-59 at 28 'with Mathias unleashed under the planks despite the defensive sacrifice of Dell'Olio and Patanè.
In the last quarter the Canadian Brown comes out for a fortuitous blow to the face, but Lisy Hetting forces the times with her penetrations and file a little something: 68-61 in the 35 '. Lucas's hand cools in the shot from outside. The Sassari defense, however, holds and Pertile and especially Arioli extend again in the final.
