The Game

Throughout each quarter, the game was close; whenever the Condors pulled ahead slightly, El Sabalero would close the gap, especially thanks to the drive and scoring of Hans Feder Ponce, the night’s top scorer with 27 points.

But the home team always managed to finish the quarters much stronger. In the first, they accelerated at the end with Conti leading and quick transitions that ended in baskets, heading into the first short break at 26-21.

In the second quarter, Guillermo Tasso brought Santiago Ibarra onto the court, and the power forward gradually warmed up with perimeter shots, increasing the lead. But Colón didn’t give up, once again with Feder Ponce, they got back into the game and tied it with a three-pointer from Fernández. But once again, Jujuy Básquet was effective, pulled ahead on the scoreboard, and the first half ended 57-48.

In the third quarter, the home team took the lead early, but Colón kept the gap close, with a 10-8 run. Colón’s coach, Leandro Spies, called a timeout, reorganized the team, and after the break, they improved their scoring, but the home team remained sharp in finishing.

In the last quarter, the team from Santa Fe closed the gap on the scoreboard, starting with a three-pointer from Nesman. Conti left the court after an unsportsmanlike foul, and things seemed to get complicated for the Jujuy team with six minutes left. The lead held, both teams exchanged points and mistakes, but in the end, two accurate perimeter shots gave Jujuy Básquet enough breathing room to seal the 96-83 victory.

It was the Condors’ last home game, as they will finish the year visiting Fusión Riojana next Sunday and Amancay on Tuesday.
