Penultimate day of the championship valid more for the honor than for the ranking Givova Scafati and of Dinamo Sassari. The Campanians are already safe, the Sardinians are already excluded from the playoff race: Boniciolli and Markovic compete in a match of purely statistical value.
The guests control the first quarter of the game. Dinamo immediately took the lead with a 9-0 run, only to then see Scafati try to come back. However, the Campanians cause too much confusion on the pitch, and the yellow-blue chaos favors the Sassari escape in the second quarter. Givova loses too many balls, returns poorly in defense and this only facilitates the opponent’s run in transition, led by triples from Jefferson.
After the break, Sassari improves further their percentages from three and flees on +21. Scafati clings to Robinson’s initiatives to try to return, but in the moments in which the American is on the bench the lights go out for the Campania team. In the last ten minutes of the game the gap widens further, with Banco di Sardegna even reaching +28. Thus Markovic’s team wins, thanks to a ballistic test from 18/31 from three points:74-99.
Givova Scafati
Knight ne
Sangiovanni ne
Blakes 5.5: provides a few baskets to Scafati’s offensive drought, but doesn’t have a particular impact.
Dear 5.5: he plays a lot, perhaps too much ball in hand. He is unable to manage the control room well, sporadically reaching the basket thanks to his physicality.
Henry 6: confirms his precious touch and reaches double figures, representing one of the few offensive lights for the Campania team.
Mouaha 5: He puts in effort in defense but it’s not enough, and he gets a bit nervous.
Pinkins 4.5: makes a series of trivial mistakes from below not from him. It’s not in the evening, a bit like the whole team.
Rossato 5: he is unable to bring the shock that is usually required of him in terms of scoring and leadership.
Robinson 6.5: the offensive beacon who tries more than anyone to stay lit for Boniciolli’s team, but his teammates don’t follow him.
Nunge 5: too inconsistent under the basket, he fails to leave his mark on the game.
Pines sv
Gamble 5: not always accurate, especially when it is not served well, and ends up adding further confusion.
Dinamo Sassari
Cappelletti 7: more tidy than other outings, he pushes Sassari’s transition well and collects 8 assists.
Treier ne
Tyree 7.5: when it lights up, there is no more for the opponents. His baskets coincide with the decisive extension.
Kruslin 7: for a few weeks he has recovered good percentages from three, and tonight he confirms it.
Pisano ne
Gandini ne
Diop 6: there is no particular need for his fight and intensity under the basket, so he “allows” himself a rest.
Gombauld 7: gives some highlights in the last quarter and in general always finds excellent spacing.
McKinnie 6.5: dangerous from beyond the arc, he joins his teammates’ three-point celebration.
Jefferson 7.5: he is the matador who dictates the pace of the Banco di Sardegna and defeats the Campanian bull with baskets.
Charalampopoulos 6.5: scores three triples in the third quarter alone, helping to put an end to the dispute early.
