La Liga Argentina Round 6 (Regular Season): Atenas keep a leadership position

After 6 rounds played we can already see who rules in the La Liga Argentina and who belongs to weaker ones. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The game had a very big importance for third-ranked Atenas as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Atenas defeated 7th ranked Amancay in Cordoba 86-79. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Amancay. Lucas Arn (197-1989) scored 16 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists to lead the charge for the winners and swingman Jose Montero (193-1995) chipped in 10 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists during the contest. The best for the losing side was guard Emiliano Correa (188-1991) with 15 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists. Atenas have a solid three-game winning streak. As mentioned above they are alone now at the top position. Newly promoted Amancay dropped to the sixth place with three games lost. They share the position with Villa S.Martin and Provincial. Amancay will have a break next week, which should allow them to rest in order to get back on the winning path. Atenas will try to continue on its current victory against sixteenth ranked Salta Basket at home.
Undefeated Pilar (2-1) recorded its first loss in Buenos Aires. Visitors were defeated by fifteenth ranked Racing A. (1-1) 77-67. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Pilar. Power forward Matias Nunez (202-1995) notched 23 points and 6 rebounds to lead the effort and Luciano Silva supported him with 15 points and 5 rebounds. Even a double-double of 22 points and 13 rebounds by American center Dishon Lowery (200-1998, college: OKBU) did not help to save the game for Pilar. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Racing A. left bottom position moving up to fourteenth place, which they share with Villa Mitre. Pilar at the other side dropped to the eighth position with one game lost. They share it with Lanus and Dep Viedma. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
A very close game took place in Catamarca between Rivadavia and Montmartre. Second ranked Rivadavia (4-1) got a very close victory on the road over 10th ranked Montmartre (1-3).

The best player for the winners was Agustin Vergara who scored 18 points and 5 rebounds. At the other side the best for losing team was Nicolas Franco who recorded 17 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. Montmartre's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help.

They share the position with Echague. Rivadavia will meet Independiente (#10) in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Montmartre will have a break next round.
