LSB Round 1 of Finals. Real Esteli nip Jaguares

Jaguares - Real Esteli 102-103

Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Real Esteli made 9 blocks. Worth to mention a great performance of the former international Jared Ruiz (188-1992, agency: BMS Sport Agency) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 39 points (!!!), 10 rebounds and 6 assists. Puerto Rican Ismael Cruz (190-2000, college: Indian Hills) contributed with 23 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists for the winners. Dominican point guard Raimer Mercedes (183-1997, agency: BMS Sport Agency) answered with 38 points (!!!), 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals and American power forward Jeff Allen (201-1987, college: Virginia Tech, agency: BMS Sport Agency) added 29 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists in the effort for Jaguares. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Jaguares' coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help.
