This derby game ended with only two-point home defeat of 3rd ranked Motilones (7-3) to first ranked Titanes (9-1) 89-87 on Thursday evening. It ended at the same time the seven-game winning streak of Motilones. Titanes made 16-of-19 free shots (84.2 percent) during the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. Panamanian Ernesto Oglivie (203-89) scored 26 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists to lead the charge for the winners and the former international forward Soren De Luque (196-98) chipped in 18 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field) during the contest. At the losing side American forward Miles Bowman Jr (201-93, college: High Point, agency: BIG) responded with 24 points and 7 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game.

It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Cimarrones.

Even 24 points and 9 rebounds by American Dominique Morrison (198-89, college: ORU, agency: Haylett Sports) did not help to save the game for Cimarrones. Both coaches tested many bench players in such tough game. Sabios maintains eighth position with 3-7 record. Newly promoted Cimarrones keep the fifth place with three games lost. Sabios will play against bottom-ranked Corsarios (#12) in Cartagena in the next round. Cimarrones will play at home against Condores (#9) and hope to get back on the winning track.

Storm will meet at home Bucaros (#10) in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Tigrillos will play against the league's leader Titanes in Barranquilla and hope to secure a win.
