Suffered until the end. For much of its course, the match was not a bed of roses for Argentino.
But it had a happy ending. El Azul beat Riachuelo de La Rioja 75-71, closed the series of four consecutive home games 2-2 and goes to the last tour with another expectation.
Argentino endured the marathon session of three games in a row at home and smiled again. And the fatigue was noticeable. That’s why the team didn’t flow. He only played to ensure the result. And it turned out very well.
The first quarter was even. Excessive study, forced plays and lackluster play. Argentino won it 18-17 with several errors in the closing itself. Richard Granberry, decisive in this passage.
The Turk improved in the second section with great help from those who came from the bench. Centeno, Slider and a devilish Facello made the home team shoot 39-30.
Same old story for the third quarter. Argentino fell into a hole and came back from Riachuelo, who used all the advantages to reduce the numbers to 51.49. Nicolás de los Santos (1 triple, 3 doubles) is notable.
And the closure came. And the figures appeared. Michael D’Souza Poole (4 doubles-4 singles) was decisive in supporting the winning Turk. They couldn’t stop it.
And Guillermo Aliende stealing the last ball to end the game on the free line – just in case – made people jump out of their seats to applaud wildly.
In short, a great victory to add and face a complicated tour, with an uncertain prognosis.
Impeccable refereeing by Pablo Estévez, Diego Rougier and Alberto Ponzo.
