Copes and Morchón set the pace of the match in the first quarter with several points that allowed Castillo’s men to lead the match from the first moments.
The team had a constant trickle of points that, added to their sticky markings, allowed Castillo’s men to print their style on the Chantada parquet.
The second quarter confirmed the trend of the previous one. Basket León ‘dried up’ the offensive flow of the Galicians, who only managed to score six points.
Llamas and Morchón, ‘plugged in’
Meanwhile, Rodrigo Llamas and Morchón hammered the Galician rim and sentenced the duel at the end of the first half.
The Leonese team dedicated themselves, during the second half, to maintaining their acquired income and containing a possible reaction from the locals. Cristian Iglesias led the local comeback attempt while Basket León struck from several fronts and thus managed to stand firm.
Those of Castillo add a new triumph. The passing of the games suits the Leon team well, in a clear ascending line in this second part of the championship.
