Works beat Pinocchio for the Federal League

The Rocker won 77-65, and now his record is 2-2. The most outstanding was Alejo Digón, with 24 points and 8 rebounds.

Obras beat Pinocchio in a new date of La Liga Federal. It was by 77 to 65, in El Templo del Rock, and with Alejo Digón as figure with 24 points and 8 rebounds. In addition, Juan Ignacio Respaud scored 14, and Matías Von Schmeling contributed 12 points.

The energy at the beginning of the game was total on the part of the locals. A very successful Respaud, with a good game in general, scored six consecutive points and the 9-0 start was felt, with good effectiveness from the outside. That difference carried over to the rest of the quarter, although Urquiza’s men, with a decent finish, put the final figure at 20-15.

The freshness, intensity and high rhythm of the Rocker was still present in the continuity. The Montañana team took a large number of triples (fifteen in the first half) and although he scored 5/15, a simply acceptable percentage, he found hits at opportune moments to maintain the advantage. The low scoring of the visit, likewise, suggested that the situation was controlled by Núñez’s men.

The third period is often the break, and the intention on the part of Obras was clearly that. Purely aggressive defensively, and trying to score in transition, he got a maximum of 15. However, Pinocchio did not give up: another positive quarter closing, when everything seemed to be in local hands, gave them an 8-2 run for stay in play. They went 59-47, facing the last chapter.

The beginning of the final ten minutes seemed like a dejavú from the previous period: the intensity at the back, translated into quick points on the offensive side, led Aurinegro to take off. The maximum of 19 (68-49 with 6:30 to go) forced the visiting bench to request a timeout. At the end of the talk, the team from Villa Urquiza had Pozzi and Sánchez Sopeña as the main banners in the comeback attempt, but Rockero was in control, who won the duel 77-65.
