Dinamo Barco di Sardegna Sassari nailed 17 triples and dished out 29 assist to down Elan Chalon sur Saone 102-87 on Tuesday. Win improves Dinamo Sassari to 2-1 in a share of second place in Group B, while Elan Chalon drops to 1-2. The hosts pulled away in the second half, after some fireworks in the first. Before halftime, there were combined 20 three-pointers, with Dinamo Sassari hitting 10 alone in the second quarter. It was 58-54 at the break, and the hosts held a 6-point lead, but Marques Green hit 3 of his 7 three-pointers in a 17-2 run that got Sassari to 93-74 lead late in the fourth quarter. Drake Diener netted 23 points on 5-for-8 triples, Marques Green nailed 7 of 9 from downtown for 21 points. Caleb Green also scored 21, while Travis Diener dished out 13 assists in addition to his 6 points. A.J. Slaughter netted 22 for Chalon, and Ilian Evtimov added 17 in a losing effort.

The visitors sunk 5 triples in the first 7 minutes. With two from Evitmov, and a triple apiece from Slaughter, Mareks Juervicus and Herve Toure, Chalon led 14-25. Drake Diener sparked the hosts’ offense with a layup and their first triple, and after 20-27 at the end of the first quarter, Drake Diener and Marques Green each hit couple of triples in the first 3 minutes of the second quarter, and Sassari grabbed 34-32 advantage. Fast pace never slowed down, and teams continued trading leads as Marques Green and Brian Saccheti nailed more from downtown for the hosts, while Slaughter hit a couple for Chalon and 42-43. Sassari answered with 4 more triples, Travis Diener hit them back-to-back, and Marques Green and Drake Diener hit one each, but Slaughter stayed hot from the outside on the other end, making his fourth triple in as many attempts, and Evtimov helped the visitors stay in range. Chalon nailed 9 triples before halftime, but Sassari hit 11, and led 58-54 at the break. A layup and the fifth triple from Drake Diener helped extended it 65-54 at the start of the third quarter, as Sassari did not allow a point for more than 3 minutes. A dunk from Clint Capela and a triple from Steed Tchicamboud showed there was still fight within the visitors. Toure scored at the end of the third quarter, and Jordan Aboudou at the start of the fourth for 76-72. But Linton Johnson answered from close range on the other end, starting a 17-2 run during which Marques Green hit three more triples, helping extend it to 93-74. It paved the way for hosts’ win. A three from Caleb Green got the hosts over the century mark for the first time in this campaign before Tchicamboud cut the deficit in the dying seconds.

Head Coaches

SACCHETTI, ROMEO
Dinamo Banco di Sardegna Sassari
"We didn't start very well, without much energy, especially on defense. Chalon got points also in difficult situations because they had a lot of confidence. We came back in the second quarter from being down 10, but we won thanks to the defense in the second half especially on A.J. Slaughter. We gave a lot of effort with two point guards together, and Caleb Green at center. We had 29 assists and shot 17 of 31 from three-point range, but our next step was to improve on defense, and in the second half we worked better."
CHENAUD, ROMAIN
Elan Chalon sur Saone
"Congratulations to Sassari and its coach because they play really great basketball. We have some problems on our team, in addition to the change of the head coach. We need more confidence and a lot of energy for 40 minutes to win this kind of game. It's positive because for 25 minutes we showed good spirit and unselfishness like a real team. We tried to be a team tonight and I think this is a good base on which to continue for the future."

Players

SACCHETTI, BRIAN
Dinamo Banco di Sardegna Sassari
"After the first half we played with more focus and we played better on defense in the second half. Our defense in the third quarter was good and we won thanks this job on their shooters. We played consistently well for 40 minutes on offense and we passed the ball around well. The next game in Zagreb will be very important for us and it won't be an easy game. We'll try to get better and get closer to qualifying for the next round."
EVTIMOV, ILIAN
Elan Chalon sur Saone
"We played a really intense game and we tried to play together with a lot of energy, but it's very difficult to win a game when the opponent scores 102 points, gets 29 assists and makes 17 three point shots. Congratulations to Sassari because they play very well together."
