Gustavo Reig proposed to move a zone well attacked by the Mono, which started with high percentages and placed Sebastián Ottonello free in the middle post. Emiliano González and Martín Trelles with important balls kept San Martín and Fomento’s shot, however, to the extent that Diego Olivera’s men began to run, they kept up. They led the first boy 19-16.
In a flat start to the second, Colón could not take advantage of his good generation of three-point shots for very low percentages. On the other side, Xavier Cousté unlocked the scoring from outside, so that his team enjoyed two possessions ahead. After a minute of Colo, the one on the corner of the Movement with a pressing defense on the ball, managed to score on a counterattack and transition to quickly turn the game around. Malik Wineglass’s early fouls were once again a constant at Miramar, so he had to leave the game. At the end of the first half, the dressage mode was turned ON, which took advantage of the Santiago Gadea street to score a second chance and with two free ones by Ignacio Núñez he returned to the front.

El Mono placed an early 4-0 to open 7, but after a stop by the clock, Gianfranco Espíndola and Martín Mayora, with three-point plays, once again put Reig and his team on offense. The pace of play grew with the appeal of the match. From the Ottonello posts, Miramar generated to open differences in the score. From El Baldosa, he generated loose shots and took fouls that gave his team an 8 advantage (55-47).
