Beautiful and unstoppable Sassari also overwhelms Varese 102-73 in front of an enthusiastic PalaSerradimigni. Game won by coach Bucchi first of all in defense with Raspino in the quintet in place of the injured Jones (Robinson also out) who sent the point guard Ross into a tailspin and therefore the most prolific attack in the championship.
Celebrate 20 years of Commando, the group of supporters of the "curve C".
Dowe starts by attacking the iron and even converting the free throw: 10-4 in the 3'. Sassari also rises to +8 and Varese relies on Owens' verticality in order not to lose sight of the hosts. The rhythms are very high but the Bank still has excellent control. Varese approaches with Johnson and Reyes hitting from outside: 21-20 in the 8th minute. Gentile takes very little to exceed 2,500 points in the championship, 29-21 in the 11th minute.
Banco runs, defends, throws himself on the ground to recover the balls and Diop holds his own against the international Caruso: 37-29 with the long biancoblù who reaches Gentile in double figures and surpasses him, his 13th point on an offensive rebound is worth the maximum advantage, +9.
Dinamo also extends the defense so as not to let the guests pick up the pace, who play a lot on the play-pivot axis with Ross and Caruso. He's also +11 with Dowe's second bomb.
In the third quarter there is only one team on the field: Raspino's defense sends point guard Ross and Varese's game into a tailspin. The break that exalts the PalaSerradimigni is a record: 22-0 in 6 minutes and +31.
Race over. The advantage also reaches +39.
