Banco di Sardegna loses again, which after +16 of 15 ‘loses its clarity and in the end has less energy. Prometey breaks PalaSerradimigni (79-87) and Sassari has one foot out of the Champions League.
Coach Cavina puts Battle in the quintet in place of Gentile to mark the former Brindisi Harrison, who starts with 4 points. Clemmons responds with a steal and two triples. Together with Bendzius he produces the 10-0 which overturns the inertia of the match.
Bilan enters (applause from his former audience) but luckily for Banco the Ukrainian team does not use him in the low post but puts him to block. Against a tactically incomplete opponent Logan plays in slippers and in the second quarter he is already at +12: 27-15 at 12 ‘. The advantage rises again: +16 at 16 ‘with a triple from Bendzius.
As soon as Sassari drops in intensity, the athleticism and talent of the foreign guests come out and with Harrison, Dowe and Stephens make the gap playable: 44-38.
After the break the Prometey continues to grind the game (Bilan makes the play from the low post) and the triples of Harrison and Kennedy make the guests jump forward. Sassari is at -5 but Burnell’s determination keeps her in the game, but Mekowulu commits the fourth foul.
It goes point to point, with Bendizus who finds the hand of three. An excellent Treier helps him: +2 at 36 ‘. Kennedy’s athleticism and Harrison’s talent bring Prometey back: 74-80 in the 38th minute. Evans from the line closes it with 3/4.
