The Tucuman team defeated Ciclista Olímpico de Santiago del Estero 108-87 to finish with 9 wins in a row and as a shooting guard. Augusto Morales was the scorer with 22 points.
Belgrano CyD had a second round that was very different from the first, reaping victories in its eight presentations and, counting the victory on the last date of the first part, there were a total of nine in a row. That gave him the opportunity to fight for second place, a place he got last night with the 108-87 victory over Ciclista Olímpico in the South neighborhood of Tucuman.
With less than two minutes of play, the locals reached a 13-2 run with a pure attack: a lot of high pressure, vertical play and effectiveness in the shots. Beyond the dead time with just 1:45 left in the game, the Tucumanos closed that quarter in favor by 33-14. Those 19 points after the first 10 minutes were enough to handle the game with the peace of mind of the difference.
The local distributed his scoring among all his players. It is that the high electronic scorer helped the rotation to be constant and the entire roster ended up scoring. On the other hand, those led by Mjoil Nabac never gave up the match and managed to cut the deficit to 10 points. However, Belgrano knew how to recover the many lost. The entry of Augusto Morales was a success for the visitors’ annotations and he even finished top scorer of the night with 22 units.
“We made a clip and managed to solidify ourselves as a team in attack and defense, the rim was opened and we were able to close games earlier than expected, that was key for the second round that we did,” said Mario Vildoza, Belgrano’s head coach.
