The 40th edition of the National Basketball League (LNB) has finalists and they are Instituto de Córdoba and Boca Juniorswho won their respective semi-finals this week and took another step towards their goal of becoming champions. For the third time in history, the competition will see two clubs whose main discipline is football and who are well-known for it face to face for the title. The previous matches were Xeneize vs. Gimnasia de La Plata in 2004 and San Lorenzo vs. La Gloria in 2019.
