Biguá failed against Roca and could not get on the podium

In a changing duel and with questions until the end, Biguá lost by the minimum (65-64) against Deportivo Roca, who scored his first away win and settled into the positions of the Patagonia zone.

With Leo Rodríguez accurate, the homeowner started better and painted for a quiet night in El Nido. However, unlike other games, the Depo had a quick reaction, settled down and the predictions began to be reserved.

That parity was extended in the second segment, although Biguá always held on top in the figures. He wasted some offenses, showed some flaws in defense and Roca continued to wait, especially due to the growth of Agustín Sánchez. 32-31 marked the board on the way to the locker room.

The break came in the third, and the person responsible had a first and last name: Facundo Troncoso. The perimeter repeated one of those productions that he had in Spanish, which led him to be one of the difficult figures on the market, and led his team with 15 of the 23 points in the quarter. Biguá barely made 11 in that quarter and Depo escaped to 11 (54-43).

The difference reached the maximum of 18 (58-43) and Biguá had no choice but to go for the epic. He almost makes it. First because he adjusted the defense and second because the Luciano Ravera duo (the best of the team in recent games)-Leo Rodríguez reappeared. The distance was getting shorter and what seemed impossible before, happened. An additional double by Ravera left the story at five (63-58) and the miracle was close.

However, the last moments were a concert of errors and, it is known, when that happens, the one who is on top has the advantage. Depo, with little –and with the last remaining- secured victory and left both teams in the same situation: 3-4 record and in the middle of the table with 10 units.

Biguá, logically, chewed anger because he lost to his people, but he has a rematch just around the corner (on Sunday against Zorros at home) and he also knows what it means to win away, because two of his three victories were away.
