Tonight, is game 5 of the semifinals and everything is on the line. winner goes to the finals. Fast Break Bogota coach Abimael Palacios has a lot on his plate if Dermaine Crockrell is out this game. Crockrell absence last game hurt them first quarter, but luckily, they were able to adjust loose ends and avoid a blowout. Playing home, their bench gets deeper giving them more opportunity on the defensive side. Stalin Ortiz (190-G-81, college: Valpo), T Cobos, D Ramis, Gonzalo Mena (199-PF-89) Are tonight's player to keep an eye on for the home team
Piratas de Bogota has a tough starting five and Coach Jose Tapias has no intention of switching things up. Last game not giving his players a breather went up by 30, might've hurt them. This time around the game plan might be different if they continue attacking the rim like last game, Fast Break Bogota has a problem at home, they allowed 50 points in the paint like last game. Alvaro Munoz Rafael Gomez (85) Yohanner Sifontes (192-G-95), Elder Gimenez (186-F-91) Are tonight's player to keep an eye on for the Piratas de Bogota
Titanes Barranquilla are back home and have something to prove. The way things are looking coach might have to continue to rely on his Colombian players. Coach Tomas Diaz imports are not giving him the results he's looking for. Gianluca Bacci (187-G-89), )John Hernandez (207-C-84), Michael Hinestroza (208-F/C-90, college: UALR), Soren Deluque. are the players to keep an eye on for the home team.
Warriors hunger speaks for itself as they have won the last two games. If they continue to feed off that spark this game can go down to the wire. Warriors must control the boards and the tempo of the game. Tonny Trocha-Morelos (208-C-94, college: Texas A&M) Michaell Jackson (196-G-87) Edwar Steele (186-F/G-87)) and Luis Almanza (196-F-91) are tonight's players to keep an eye on for the San Andres Warriors!!
