|
| |  |
The last game of the classification round for Group B of Liga Centroamericana, favoured team Icevic Tegucigalpa prevailed over SAT-Cybertech with a strong victory. In the previous game, Icevic Tegucigalpa produced its lowest score for this tournament. But this time, the Hondurian team transformed their paced play into a much more dynamic and effective one, puzzling SAT-Cybertech since the match began, and taking the lead to never let it go until the end of regulation. Both teams are already classified for the Final Four of the tournament, which starts next week in Cancun, Mexico.
