The table-toppers made no mistake on the road, beating San Alfonso 76-59 in the LNB on Monday night. Deportivo San-José took control early and never looked back, while the hosts struggled to find any rhythm against a side that had already won thirteen of fourteen matches. The result keeps the leaders clear at the summit.
San Alfonso started with more energy than usual, but the visitors quickly showed why they sit top of the pile. Their ball movement was sharp, and they punished any hesitation from the home side. By the time the hosts realised what was happening, they were several points behind and had played the second half a man short of confidence.
The statistics tell the story without embellishment. Deportivo San-José recorded twenty-two assists to seven steals, while San Alfonso managed only fifteen assists and eleven turnovers. The visitors hit ten three-pointers from thirty-two attempts, compared to seven from the same number of shots at home. It was a night where the passing game made the difference.
We had backed the away side before the game, and the result justified that call. Deportivo San-José did not need to force anything — they picked their moments and executed them cleanly. The prediction came through without fuss, and that is the sort of performance you expect from a team that has lost just once all season.
San Alfonso remain eighth with a single victory from fourteen games, and the gap to safety is growing. They have not tasted a win since the opening round, and three defeats in a row — including this one — make survival look increasingly unlikely. The hosts gave up the ball and hit them on the break too often, and the visitors punished them accordingly.
Deportivo San-José extend their winning run to five matches, and they now hold a comfortable cushion at the top. Their recent form has been consistent, with victories over teams like Olimpia Kings and Félix Pérez Cardoso. The goal difference speaks for itself: they are scoring freely and defending adequately, and that combination is hard to match in this league.
