The most exciting game was a derby match between two local teams from Montevideo: Penarol (#8) and Trouville (#6). Trouville was defeated at home 84-92 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. It was a great shooting night for Penarol especially from behind the arc, where they had solid 57.9 percentage. It was a good game for American power forward Lee Roberts (203-1987, college: Findlay, OH) who led his team to a victory with 20 points and 8 rebounds.
