The La Banda group became fewer and surpassed the people from Mar del Plata with great authority.
El Negro welcomed Peñarol from Mar del Plata to Vicente Rosales in the National League. Olimpico de La Banda, without complications, defeated Milrayitas and established itself as the only leader in the competition in Argentina.
The match in Santiago del Estero was dominated by the host from the start. El Negro went from less to more and in the first quarter, it was difficult for him to distance himself, Peñarol put up a fight and did not allow him the difference. However, and with the help of Devon Collier (11 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist), they were able to get close to double digits at halftime.
Already in the second half, Olympic cleared the nets and distanced itself from its rival by double digits and was just ahead on the scoreboard. The third quarter left 13 points to Black. Peñarol was unable to recover despite Tomás Monacchi’s performance (18 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals). The success of Leo Gutiérrez’s team was due to the good rotation they found throughout the match. And in roles like Nicolás Romano (16 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 1 block) who marked the distance in important moments. Olimpico won 23 units.
What’s next for you two?
Next to play a match is Peñarol de Mar del Plata, the Milrayitas will continue the trip and visit Independiente de Oliva in Córdoba. Both need a win to move away from the bottom of the standings. While Olympic will leave its local position and hit the road to go to Formosa to face Sepo Ginobili’s team, La Unión. El Negro wants to be the sole leader and the U must win to end their streak of eight games without seeing a win.
