LNB Round 2 (Regular Season): Colonias lose to San Jose

There were only 2 rounds played so far and it's still very beginning of the Regular Season in LNB. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most important game of round 2 took place in Asuncion where San Jose beat Colonias 105-95 on Thursday night. Robin Perry scored 23 points and 6 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and ex-international forward Ramon Sanchez (194-1991) chipped in 18 points and 5 rebounds during the contest. Chilean point guard Diego Silva (186-1993) responded with 28 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Colonias will play next round against Capiata trying to make it back to the top of the standings. San Jose will try to continue on its current victory against Felix Perez. It will be extra interesting game as Felix Perez is their local rival from Asuncion.
Very significant was Amambay's 49-point road victory against Capiata 88-39. Valentino Davis notched 24 points and 9 rebounds to lead the effort and Gabriel Riveiro supported him with 11 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Even 9 points and 7 rebounds by Octavio Caputo did not help to save the game for Capiata. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Amambay will play against Campo Alto in Asuncion in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Capiata will play on the road against Colonias in Asuncion to get more than just one victory in their record.
Quite upsetting was San Alfonso's home defeat in a game versus Campo Alto 86-75. The best player for the winners was Jeferson Arguello who had a double-double by scoring 14 points and 10 rebounds. Victor Silva produced a double-double by scoring 14 points and 10 rebounds for the hosts. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest.
