Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Lobos' coach tried various players' combinations and tested in total eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Mineros maintains seventh place with 13-11 record. Newly promoted Lobos dropped to the fifth position with nine games lost. Mineros are looking forward to face Abejas (#10) in Guanajuato in the next round. Lobos will play on the road against Correcaminos (#14) in Ciudad Victoria and are hoping to win this game.
