At halftime, the score stood at a tight 32-31.The momentum shifted dramatically in the third quarter, with Facundo Troncoso leading the charge for Roca. Troncoso, known for his explosive scoring ability, delivered a performance reminiscent of his standout days in the Spanish league, single-handedly contributing 15 of Roca’s 23 points in the quarter. Biguá,on the other hand,managed only 11 points,allowing Roca to build a commanding 11-point lead (54-43).

They tightened their defense and witnessed the resurgence of Luciano ravera and Leo Rodríguez, who had been instrumental in Biguá’s recent successes.The gap began to shrink, and what seemed like an insurmountable deficit became a realistic possibility. A clutch three-pointer from Ravera brought the score to within five points (63-58), setting the stage for a dramatic finish.Unfortunately for Biguá,the final moments were marred by a series of errors. In such tense situations, the team with the lead often benefits from the opponent’s mistakes. Roca capitalized on biguá’s miscues, securing a hard-fought victory and leaving both teams with identical 3-4 records and 10 points in the standings.
While Biguá understandably felt the sting of defeat, especially on their home court, they can take solace in their upcoming rematch against Zorros on Sunday. Moreover, they have proven their ability to win on the road, having secured two of their three victories away from home.
