Dinamo wins again at home and breathes new life into the standings: 85-80 over Trieste, a team that never gave up despite always chasing.

Banco faced a match without three players: the injured Thomas and Mezzanotte, and Ceron, who is dealing with a gastrointestinal virus. Coach Mrsic was able to count on two new additions: a few flashes from Pullen (still a bit behind) and, above all, Visconti, who brought great energy, even playing as the "four." Marshall was named MVP, not only for his 23 points but also for his consistency. McGlynn and Buie also performed well, with 14 points each, and Johnson (17, despite a few silly errors).

Report - The initial balance between the shooters (Johnson and Marshall on one side, Brown on the other) is disrupted by the introduction of the substitutions: the two new signings Visconti and Pullen, and center Vincini, fresh from his national team experience. From 15-15 in the 6th minute, Banco sprints forward and closes the lead at 30-17 thanks to Pullen's three-pointer at the end of the quarter.

In the second half, the defenses became tougher and more attentive, and the scoring was a bit slower. Sassari maintained a double-digit lead until the 19th minute, when Toscano hit two threes to make it 44-37 at halftime.

Upon returning, Trieste tried to get back into the game and closed the gap to within 3 with a Ramsay three-pointer. McGlynn then connected, opening the gap again: +12 at the 26th minute. The visitors never gave up, and in the final quarter they reached an 81-77 lead with 65 seconds remaining. Pullen made 0 of 2, but Marshall grabbed the offensive rebound and sealed the win.
