Fourth defeat in a row for the Sassari who waste a good first part of the race with a nightmare third fraction
TORTONA. Fourth consecutive defeat in the league for Dinamo Banco di Sardegna, who lost 95-89 in Casale Monserrato against Bertram Tortona on the eighth day of the championship. Demis Cavina’s boys pay dearly for the decline in the third quarter, in which the Piedmontese score 40 points and place the decisive break. The Sassari start very well, dragged by Gentile who immediately puts in two triples.
In the first period there is little basket (15-16) while in the second quarter both teams find many points from beyond the arc. Banco escapes to +7 with Logan (20-27), then collects the 15-3 break of the Piedmontese, who overturn the situation and run away until 35-30. Banco’s reaction is immediate and leads to 38-38 in the middle of the match.
The third quarter starts well, then turns into a nightmare, with Tortona making the basket in every way, making a break of 11-0 and with 40 points scored in 10 minutes reaches the third siren on +12, 78-66 .
In the last period, Cavina’s boys collapse until -17 (88-71 less than 6 ‘from the end), then try a desperate comeback: Logan signs the -7 at 1’36 “(93-86), they reach a couple of mistakes to eat your hands and when Burnell places the bomb of 93-89 at 5 ”9 from the siren the match is virtually closed.
