CSU Atlassib Sibiu delivered one of the most complete offensive performances of the early Liga Naționala de Baschet Masculin season, defeating Dinamo București 100-92 in front of a loud home crowd on October 10, 2026. The Transylvanian side became the first team of the round to reach the century mark, pulling away in the third quarter and then calmly holding off a late Dinamo surge.

Match Overview

It was a game of runs and momentum swings. Sibiu started fast, Dinamo answered before half-time, and then the hosts produced the decisive stretch immediately after the interval — a 13-2 burst that turned a narrow deficit into a double-digit cushion they never fully surrendered.

How the Game Was Won

Sibiu shot the ball exceptionally well from the perimeter, knocking down 14 three-pointers at a 45 percent clip, and paired that with disciplined ball movement that produced 24 assists on 35 made field goals. Dinamo's defense, effective in the first half when it forced eight turnovers, lost its edge after the break as Sibiu's guards repeatedly found open shooters in rhythm.

The decisive third quarter saw Sibiu outscore Dinamo 26-20, with the run stretching across the final four minutes of the period. Dinamo's offense became more isolation-heavy during that stretch, and the resulting contested mid-range attempts allowed Sibiu to get out in transition.

Key Moments

• Q1, 4:30 remaining: Sibiu opened on a 12-3 run, forcing an early Dinamo timeout.
• Q2, 3:15 remaining: Dinamo flipped the momentum with a 10-0 run, taking a 45-43 lead into the locker room.
• Q3, 4:05 remaining: A 13-2 Sibiu burst, capped by a transition three, made it 74-63 and effectively decided the contest.
• Q4, 1:40 remaining: Dinamo trimmed the lead to seven, but Sibiu answered with a three-point play to end the threat.

Tactical Story

Sibiu's coaching staff used a deep rotation, with nine players seeing at least eight minutes, to keep legs fresh against a Dinamo side that prefers an up-tempo pace. The hosts also switched aggressively on screens in the second half, disrupting Dinamo's pick-and-roll rhythm after it had generated easy looks before the break.

Dinamo's brightest moments came when they attacked the rim early in the shot clock. Their half-court offense stalled whenever the ball stopped moving, and Sibiu's ability to contest without fouling — only 17 team fouls on the night — limited free points. On the boards, Sibiu's 38-30 rebounding advantage, including 11 offensive rebounds, provided the extra possessions that made the century mark possible.

Standout Performers

• Jordan Sheppard (CSU Atlassib Sibiu): 27 points, 9 assists, 4 steals — the engine of the Sibiu attack.
• Rareș Uta (CSU Atlassib Sibiu): 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting, including four three-pointers.
• Tyler Stevenson (CSU Atlassib Sibiu): 14 points and 10 rebounds, controlling the paint.
• Mihai Corneanu (CSU Atlassib Sibiu): 15 points off the bench, all in the second half.
• Anthony Roberts (Dinamo București): 25 points and 6 rebounds in a losing effort.
• Andrei Mandea (Dinamo București): 16 points, 5 assists, keeping his side within striking distance late.

What It Means for the Standings

The win keeps CSU Atlassib Sibiu unbeaten at home and strengthens their early-season positioning in the upper reaches of the Liga Naționala de Baschet Masculin. Reaching 100 points against a traditionally physical Dinamo defense is a statement about the pace and shooting this roster can sustain.

For Dinamo București, the loss is a reminder that their rebuild remains a work in progress. There were positives — 92 points on the road, a strong second-quarter stretch, and a competitive final five minutes — but defensive consistency over four quarters is the clear next step. The two clubs will meet again later in the season, and this 100-92 result gives Sibiu the early edge in any head-to-head tiebreaker discussion.
