Bertram Derthona surrendered at the end of a balanced and emotional match, chasing Banco di Sardegna Sassari in the score for a few minutes of the match, always remaining in contact. In the last quarter the team coached by Ramondino tries to extend the lead, but the guests find important baskets from Bendzius and Robinson to prevail at the siren.

First period of partials at PalaEnergica: after the initial minutes favorable to Bertram, Sassari finds fluidity in attack and good shooting solutions, moving on to lead in scoring. At the first siren the guests lead 16-21. In the second half, after a further attempt by Banco di Sardegna, Derthona gradually closed their gap, then overtaking with baskets from Macura and Christon. The first half is closed by a 0-5 score signed by Robinson-Dowe, which is worth 38-40 at the break.

Upon returning from the changing rooms, Sassari once again took off better and widened the margin. Triples from Daum and Macura kick off the Juventus recovery, which was then completed by Christon. Banco di Sardegna, with Diop's basket, maintains a one-point lead (59-60) in the 30th minute. The last period is a succession of emotions, overtaking and counter-overtaking which leads to a new sprint finish at the PalaEnergica Paolo Ferraris. Harper pushes Bertram to +4 (78-74), before Bendzius impacts with a 4-point play. In the last minute Jones puts Dinamo back ahead, Macura shortens to the line before Robinson – in glacial fashion – puts full possession between the two teams with 12 seconds to go. The three-point shots by Macura, Daum and Christon miss the mark and Sassari wins 79-82.

Thus coach Marco Ramondino at the end of the race: “Congratulations to Sassari for the victory: they played a more continuous match than ours, leading in the score for several minutes. We lacked a bit of malice and determination in finishing possessions, during the match we suffered some 1-on-1s and attacking rebounds, combined with Sassari's ability to punish mistakes are two aspects that characterized the forty minutes. I think there were times we stopped the ball, and that allowed them to score baskets in transition.".
