Tuesday’s day opened with the presentation of two teams that arrived with victory: Colón and Danubio.
At the start, the Colo Reig team got involved almost only in the three-point shot, forgetting about Daniel in the paint. Danubio, who put in a defensive zone that gave him results, did not depend exclusively on Chervo and found answers in all his men. With three triples in a row and with three minutes to play in the first boy, the fringed opened 15 ahead, 20-5. Then a minute of Reig woke up his team. A furious 11-0 to close that boy with Daniel as the banner and the appearance of the shot of three to finish down 16-20 at the end of the opening quarter. The second started with a 6-0 from Danubio after triples from Tati Fernández and Álvarez, to break the rival zone. Colón was very uncomfortable looking at the rival ring and Guido Fernández’s men again opened 15 ahead, with Ángel Varela being a figure. In this way, the fringed team went up 41-26 at the long break.
The start of the third continued with the trend of the first half. Danubio pulled the strings with Chervo as an offensive reference. Colón had a hard time reaching the rival rim in danger, and he only had Daniel as a reliable player in attack, unlike his rival, who found many reliable hands. In any case and with ant work, trying to defend with more intensity and always with Daniel, Colón got to 13. In the closing a pair of triples from Trelles and Emiliano, allowed San Martín and Fomenro to get to 10, 48-58. However, the fourth period started better for the Danubian. He served 14 and seemed to once again calmly dominate the game. But it was just a sensation, as Colón with a 7-0 went to seven with four minutes left. Danubio in that period did the opposite of what he had done the rest of the night and saw how the difference vanished. And so? Triple of Emiliano, run of Mayora and Colon got to a point. Yes, from losing by 20 to just one point. But of course, Ángel Varela. With five points in a row Danubio again opened six points and threw all the pressure on a Colón who could not confirm a reaction that could be terrible. At the end, a triple by Fernandez and free-again-by Varela were enough for Danubio to close the game in figures of 76-72.
