El Calamar welcomes Boca Juniors to the Ciudad de Vicente López Stadium for the National League. This is a victory for Platense who are looking to fight for position against Insituto and continue to stay in direct Playoff positions.
The Squid is third and goes with everything
The match started erratically for both sides and neither managed to score the conversions. However, and using his big man for the pick and roll, Brown put the scores in his favor. Quickly, with three-pointers and simple scores, Xeneize evened things up and started to lead the goals. A great performance by Facundo Vázquez (22 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals) kept Calamar ahead throughout the second period. Platense retired at halftime ahead by six points (42-36).
In the second half, Brown was able to take advantage of the advantage gained throughout the second quarter. Despite not making some clear plays, the effectiveness of the three at the right moment. And adding to the game with side penetrations, his best cards. They managed to pull away by 10 points throughout the third period. Eric Flor (21 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist) is another great architect of the Cholo Vázquez team. Calamar’s stout defense ate up Boca’s clock or missed plays due to the locals recovering. Because of this, Platense was able to extend its lead and won the match by 13 points.
What’s next for you two?
Platense want to continue moving up the standings and will now visit Ferro Carril Oeste at Héctor Etchart. Purslane is not on a good streak as Calamar continues to rack up victories. For its part, Boca will continue the tour and travel to Formosa to face La Unión. Xeneize is on the tightrope of the top 5 and if it doesn’t raise its head, it will lose its lead in the Reclassification.
