Forza shot the lights out from three sinking 15 long-distance shots on high 65.2 percentage. It was a great evening for center Mario Reyes (-2001) who led his team to a victory scoring 33 points (!!!). Sergio Ambelis helped adding 14 points (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field). At the losing side Juan Pablo Aguilar JP (-2002) responded with 20 points. Forza maintains fourth place with 2-3 record. Litegua lost fourth consecutive game.
