Metropolitan Round 3 (Second Stage): Capitol beat Atenas in a derby game

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most exciting game was a derby match between two local teams from Montevideo: Capitol (#7) and Atenas (#8). Atenas were defeated at home 75-90 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. Capitol looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. The best player for the winners was Argentinian Nahuel Amichetti (202-1998) who scored 27 points and 8 rebounds. point guard Mateo Giano (186-2000) chipped in 15 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists. At the other side the best for losing team was forward Joaquin Rodriguez (199-2003) who recorded 19 points.
Another exciting game was again a derby between two teams from Montevideo: Urunday (#1) and Larranaga (#3). Larranaga was crushed at home by 29 points 79-108 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Larranaga. It was a good game for American Tyrone Lee (203-1990, college: GVSU) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 20 points and 12 rebounds (went 9 for 9 at the free throw line !!!). Demian Alvarez contributed with 20 points and 6 rebounds for the winners. Naturalized Italian Nicolas Borsellino (202-1986, agency: Pro Sports) answered with a double-double by scoring 15 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists for Larranaga. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games.
Another exciting game was again a derby match of two local teams from Montevideo: Olimpia (#2) and Welcome (#6). Welcome was defeated at home 76-91 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help.
