The hosts trailed by 4 points at the halftime before their 28-16 charge in the third quarter, which allowed them to win the game. Worth to mention a great performance of American center Shaun Pruitt who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 20 points and 15 rebounds. The former international guard Ricardo Dalmau contributed with 22 points and 7 rebounds for the winners and Vassallo scored 16 pts, 5 reb & 2 asist. point guard Andres Rodriguez answered with 14 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists and the former international center Daniel Santiago added 10 points and 7 rebounds in the effort for Capitanes. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Capitanes' coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help.
