Boca Platense National League: Results and Highlights

Carlos Duro’s team defeated Platense in La Bombonerita.

In the only game of the night in the National League, in a game far from showing the best version of the teams, Boca defeated Platense and remains at the top. Xeneizes became less and managed to survive from an income achieved by dint of triple. In a Bombonerita that, whenever possible, burst into songs dreaming of the Libertadores, Boca celebrated 87 to 72 to climb to the top of the standings. With this result, Boca reached a record of 6-1, while Calamaris had a record of 4-2.

The first half had a Boca team that started more focused on the offensive side, but despite Platense drying up in the first minutes, they were unable to get a big advantage on the scoreboard. With good percentage effectiveness from the perimeter they stayed in front. But the visitors, with a strong front-line defense and quick exits, made it difficult for Xeneizes. The game broke down in the second ten minutes, and those led by Carlos Duro found good results in perimeter shooting, leading to a 14-point lead. But Calamar’s three-pointers appeared, leaving a good feeling at the end of the first half.

Beyond a dubious start, when Boca began to calibrate their sights and score from 6.75m, the story was over. The difference reached 18 and Platense could not find effectiveness in his most reliable hands. With that, those led by Carlos Duro just have to appeal to time as their ally so that there is no reaction from their rival.

The figures:

Raven Barber finished as Boca’s top scorer. The North American added 17 points, in addition to 9 rebounds. Marcos Mata followed him with 15 points, while José Vildoza completed the offensive trident with 13. On the opponent, the best came from Facundo Vázquez, with 21 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
