Regular Season Round 37: Cocodrilos - Gaiteros 81-78

Date: May 4, 2026
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked Gaiteros (19-3) in Caracas on Monday night. Visitors were edged by second ranked Cocodrilos (18-5) 81-78. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of Gaiteros. It may be a crucial game in the contest for the top position in the league. They outrebounded Gaiteros 47-27 including a 31-18 advantage in defensive rebounds. Worth to mention a great performance of Dominican Diego Colon (188-2001) who helped to win the game recording 26 points (made all of his eight free throws). The former international forward Luis Bethelmy (200-1986) contributed with 20 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. Colombian-Dominican point guard Jesse Zarzuela (188, college: Oregon) answered with 30 points and swingman Luis Duarte (190-1994) added 18 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 7 steals in the effort for Gaiteros. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Cocodrilos maintains second place with 18-5 record behind leader Gaiteros. Defending champion Gaiteros still keep top position with three games lost. Cocodrilos are looking forward to face Piratas (#10) in La Guaira in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Gaiteros will play on the road against Marinos (#6) in Caracas and are hoping to win this game.
