The Mercedino team received a visit from Gimnasia y Esgrima de Comodoro in El Plateado for the National League. It was a victory for Communications that helped them move away from the bottom of the standings. And, despite the number of games remaining, this victory brings Comu closer to staying in the top flight for another season.
Comu was a success!
The meeting is almost entirely local. They started ahead in the first quarter with a limited lead that never reached double digits. But they stayed ahead thanks to Rodrigo Sánchez (19 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal). The distance managed by Comu was so short that Gimnasia managed to turn the story around in the second quarter. But unfortunately for the visit, Sánchez caught fire and made the local team win again. Communications retired at halftime, up by just one unit and leaving the game for anyone.
But in the second half, the local team was consistent. He was able to increase the difference above double digits with a few shots from the triple, but they fell at the right time. Marcus Thomas Jr (16 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block) is the leader of this dominance in Comodoro’s team. Throughout the final stage, Balbis’ team reached the maximum distance of the match, which was 19 units. However, Gimnasia, with its collective play, managed to reduce that distance below double figures. Communications took advantage of the irregularity of the Chubutans and won the game by nine points to move away from the bottom of the table.
What’s next for you two?
Communications will once again be local to El Plateado de Mercedes and will receive a direct competitor. They will have to play a match against Independiente de Oliva, an important clash for the northerners who can still dream of Reclassification. While I want to maintain its position in the postseason. For its part, Gimnasia will return to the Founding Members to face Ferro Carril Oeste. Both did not show their best version in the away tours and as a result they fell down the positions in the table. Now is the time for Caballito’s team to put the fight away from Comodoro’s team again or Mens Sana will settle for the top positions.
