The Mercedes team achieved its first victory as a guest; after beating Riachuelo at the La Rioja Superdome 108 to 101.
In the only match of the day in the National League, Comunicaciones de Mercedes managed to win for the first time as visitors so far this season. The team led by Jorge Balbis had a nine-game losing streak away from home, but finally managed to put an end to their streak. The rivalry was very fast-paced, with great offensive performances and ended in a unique scoring flow. It was 108 to 101 for the visitors, who celebrated euphorically as the duel ended.
With this result, Riachuelo has two losses in a row (it comes from the defeat in San Lorenzo), adding three falls in the last five presentations. The irregular passage of this season; has removed him from reclassification positions. He fell to No. 13, with a record of 11-15. This benefited Independiente; which climbed to twelfth place. Mercedes Communications breathed a sigh of relief, as it moved a little further from La Unión de Formosa. With a record of 8 games won in 23 appearances; It is in 17th place.
The figures:
There were two points of very high performance by the visiting team. Keron Deshields completed his scoring with 35 points, with 7/9 on doubles, 6/9 on triples and 3/3 from the free throw line. Additionally, he contributed 4 rebounds and 7 assists; total 41 ratings. Marcus Thomas followed him with 31 points. Rodrigo Sánchez completed the offensive trident with 14 points, in addition to 7 rebounds. In the local team, the best came from the hands of Anyeuri Castillo; with 23 points and 6 rebounds.
What’s next:
Communications will go home for its next presentations. On March 20 they will host Gimnasia de Comodoro Rivadavia; and on the 23rd they will have an important match against Independiente de Oliva. Riachuelo, for his part, will hit the road to visit the Institute on March 25, in Ángel Sandrín.
