A clash of two best offenses in the league

A clash of these two teams will surely be a treat for all basketball fans. The speed with which these two teams are playing can guarantee only one thing - a show

After a streak of six defeats, under Pozzecc's leadership Varese consolidated and won in the last three matches. After Brindisi and Bologna they were celebratory in an away match against Caserta with 82-78. Kangur is still gone so Eyenga is starting the match instead of him, but he missed a lot against Caserta (1/9).

The first thing that decided the match was Varese's series of 21-2 by the end of the first quarter. Later they even had +15, but in the finale they've allowed Caserta to return to the game, and even take the lead. In the last three minutes Dean sprung out (he's been starting instead of Robinson in the last three matches). Out of the 25 points, he scored 14 in the final quarter, and he was definitely the hero of the meeting. Besides him, four others were double-digit: Diaware with 14, Daniel with 13, Robinson with 12 and Rautins with 10. It's interesting that that was their first match in which they scored less than 20 three-pointers (5/15).

After they were offensively very good at the start of the season, lately the number of 100 points lowered down to a still high 84.5 per match. It is known they like a fast pace, and today they will definitely get it because they're hosting the best offense of the league, with 85.7 points per match, and that's Sassari.

Sassari are finally out of a mini-crisis which has been shaking them. With three defeats in a row they hosted the leading Reggiana and reacted great in front of their fans. Led by Dyson (27p), they won 87-74. Sacchetti still couldn't count on Sanders who is slowly coming back, while Brooks will be absent for a month.

Instead of him Todic entered the five with which Sassari lost on height, but they didn't lose anything on the outside shooting because Todic is an excellent shot. They oppened the match furiously and took the lead with 26-13 after ten minutes, and they managed to keep that lead until the very end, although Reggiana came close to a single -1. Next to Dyson, the two-digit scorers were Mogan with 19 points and five three-pointers, and Lawal with 18 points and 12 rebounds. It sounds incredible that they managed to beat someone in rebounds, but that's what happened (44-36).

Now they're up for four very important matches, starting with Varese. They're on 6th place in the table, and their goal is to score the best possible position before performing in the Cup.

Will Sacchetti be able to count on Sanders today is unknown.
