More training than a real match between two teams with destiny already marked in the Champions League: Sassari eliminated, Tenerife second. At the “PalaSerradimigni” the Spaniards win 84-63 in a match taken in hand immediately and carried on with a double-digit advantage from the second quarter onwards.

Coach Bucchi preferred to give a rest to the ailing players, Robinson and Gentile, in practice first and second play. So Massimo Chessa goes in the quintet.

The Spanish team has a better start and with 10 consecutive points from the winger Wiltjer takes a decent advantage: 7-19 in the 5 '.

The inclusion of Logan and Battle adds half a notch of intensity (-5 to 7 ') but Guerra re-establishes the distance from below: 16-25 the first quarter.

In the second half many changes for the two teams, Tenerife turns the ball well and Banco is already at -22 on 17 '. Halt the bleeding Battle with 5 points in a row, but at rest it is 32-48.

Better in the third quarter, more energy in defense, while Battle and Mekowulu lead the partial comeback: 41-53 in the 24th minute. Huertas replies with 5 points in a row and Sassari slips to -20.

In the last quarter it is played smoothly and Battle reaches 16 points.
