El Rojinegro came out strong in the Temple of Rock to beat Tachero 83 to 92.
San Martín defeated Obras 83 to 92 in the Templo del Rock and closed his tour of Buenos Aires with a victory. Revidatti’s men controlled the pace of the game, imposed a good defense and had high points on offense to take the game.
The local team began to find the paths to the hoop easier, so they built an early advantage. However, on the other side the individualities of Méndez and Buendía emerged, with Garello’s work near the basket to turn the partial result around. El Tachero couldn’t find his usual conversions from the perimeter throughout the first half, so he benefited from Spight’s verticality as he was able to break through Santo’s tough defense. The Aurinegro team managed to score at the end of the second quarter, based on the mistakes of their rivals, to close the first 20 minutes 39 to 46.
Coming back from the break, San Martín not only knew how to play the advantage by developing a long offensive, but also extended it to 14 points thanks to a good entry from Burgos and the dominance of Méndez. Entering the final 10 minutes of play, Núñez’s team finally found a three-point conversion to begin to close the gap. In addition, a tremendous defense allowed them to run the field and, with the prominence of Spight, Solarin and the appearance of Barral, they managed to reduce the difference to 3 points. It was not enough for those led by Pete Domínguez, as the trident of Buendía, García and Méndez reappeared to take off Corrientes again and seal the final 83 to 92.
