A victory of character for 76-70. The coup of Treviso makes the ranking of Dinamo more serene, that from the next game will be able to count on a new foreigner. Before the tip-off the club announced the hiring of the point guard Brianté Webber, 32 years old, 188cm tall, last season in Reggio Emilia where he produced almost 10 points and 3.7 assists.
Meanwhile, as in the first leg, Sassari won with a strong team performance: Cappelletti (15 points), Thomas and Fobbs (13 each), Vincini (12) and Bibbins (11) scored in double figures.
Chronicle - Dinamo without the injured Renfro, Udom and Halilovic and without Sokolowski who has returned to Poland. In the quintet there is Tambone as a guard with Fobbs as a small forward and Vincini as a center. False start: 7-0 for Treviso with 5 points by Paulicap and Olisevicius entering, Coach Bulleri calls a time out. Vincini returns the pair under control, Bendzius's triple sews up almost everything: -1 at 5'. First changes for the two teams. Cappelletti plays as a guard to get used to the new role. Fobbs instead plays as a "4" when Bendzius leaves, but both he and Veronesi suffer the opposing wings: 19-15 at 8'.
Small forward Macura tries to make a run for the home team: 26-17 at 11'. Fobbs takes care of keeping Treviso from escaping. The excellent Vincini and the 5 points of the awakened Bibbins seal the overtaking: 30-32 at 16'. Vincini goes into double figures and gives his team a +6 lead, who then go to halftime at 36-40.
At the beginning of the third quarter Macura equalizes. Ugly game, with many mistakes, but Sassari still manages to stay ahead playing also with the double play, also because it shows more desire than the much booed home team: +9 with Thomas who scores on the counterattack and converts the free throw.
In the last quarter Treviso comes back to -1 with Bowman, but Thomas and a triple by Fobbs re-establish the gap at 38': +6. Bowman scores on the drive to -1 at 38', but Thomas slices through the Treviso defense and closes it down.
