In its second presentation in the Cuyo Division of the Federal Basketball League 2022, Montmartre fell to GEPU de San Luis by 82-80 in a match that was defined in the last seconds.
The game was vibrant and very attractive, with the two teams giving each other the leadership of the scoreboard in several passages of it, which led to a very even finish.
The first set was everything for the team from Catamarca, which was the better of the two. In the second, the match was all for GEPU, who with a run of 29 to 9, took a 13-point lead heading into the long break and suggested that the match was easy for them.
But in the third quarter the “Cuervo” went over him and took the lead. The last quarter was very close and Montmartre won it by six points with 2 minutes remaining. There began the debacle for the local that did not convert, lost balls and let the rival grow who with a triple and a simple in the final moments sentenced the game with 12 seconds to go.
End of the match and victory for the “Wolf” of San Luis who won an incredible match and is one of the leaders of the Division, while for Montmartre the bitter taste remains and a whole tournament ahead to improve
