To err is inevitable, to persevere is diabolical and dangerous, because Dinamo was overtaken in the sprint by Treviso at the PalaSerradimigni (103-108) and a final part of the championship is complicated where it will have to win at least two games to avoid relegation.
Banco di Sardegna's approach to a crucial relegation game was poor: 0-10 and even down 12 after 5 minutes. Macura was uncatchable, but at least Beliauskas and McGlynn kept Dinamo alive, who began their comeback and then overtook with Buie (39-36 after 14 minutes). Sassari seemed in control and even reached +11 after 23 minutes.
Treviso didn't give up, with former players Weber and Cappelletti leading the comeback. Croswell was effective under the basket, and the visitors took the lead with 65 seconds left. As against Reggio Emilia, point guards Buie and Macon mismanaged the final plays, losing the ball, and the visitors were grateful for it with a dramatic victory that overturned the three-point deficit from the first leg.
Five players scored double figures: Marshall led the way with 21 points. All three big men were fouled out with five fouls: Thomas (another subpar performance), McGlynn, and Vincini.
