Gladiadores dominated down low during the game scoring 48 of its points in the paint compared to Frontinos' 28.

American guard Lamonte Bearden (191-1995, college: WKU) answered with 15 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists for Frontinos. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Gladiadores have an impressive series of six victories in a row. Defending champion maintains first place with 15-1 record. Frontinos at the other side keep the seventh position with ten games lost. Gladiadores will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Frontinos will play at home against Pioneros (#3) and are hoping to prove to their supporters that this time they can win.
The game between fourth ranked Heroes (9-6) and 9th ranked Diablos (3-12) in Caracas ended with biggest points difference. Heroes beat guests from Caracas 77-63.

American-Dominican center Justin Satchell (203-1995, college: St.Leo) responded with 14 points and 6 rebounds. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Heroes moved-up to third place, which they share with Pioneros and Piratas. Diablos lost their fourth game in a row. They keep the ninth position with 12 games lost. Heroes will play against Centauros (#8) in Margarita in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Diablos will play on the road against Gaiteros in Maracaibo and hope to get back on the winning track.
