An interesting game for Obras which hosted in Buenos Aires N.Avellaneda R.. Obras had an easy win 82-41. Nicole Tapari notched 13 points to lead the effort. Even 12 points by Sofia Gonzalez did not help to save the game for N.Avellaneda R.. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Obras' supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Buenos Aires to the arena Ferro.

There were no big surprises in other games of round 2: winless Union Florida lost to undefeated Ferro on the road 58-76. El Talar won against Rocamora on its own court 67-59. Berazategui managed to outperform Lanus in Buenos Aires 58-51.
