The most exciting game of round 16 in the CIBACOPA took place in Guaymas. This derby game ended with only one-point defeat on the road of 5th ranked Angeles (12-12) to eighth ranked Ostioneros de Guaymas (10-12) 104-103 on Tuesday evening. Guaymas looked well-organized offensively handing out 28 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of American guard Gage Davis-McMurrin (195-1995, college: St.Cloud St.) who helped to win the game recording 24 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists and the other American import point guard Amir Spears (190-2001, college: UTSA) who added 19 points and 5 assists during the contest. At the losing side American swingman Trahson Burrell (201-1992, college: Memphis) responded with 29 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Ostioneros de Guaymas have a solid three-game winning streak. They moved-up to seventh place, which they share with Los Mochis. Angeles at the other side keep the fifth position with 12 games lost. They share it with Toros. Guaymas is looking forward to face higher ranked Frayles (#3) in Guasave in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Angeles will play on the road against the league's second-placed Obregon having rather not much hope for a victory.
