Sports Report
San José beat Capata Bulls 54 to 48 in the LNB in Paraguay on Tuesday night. The visitors are sitting top of the table with thirteen wins from fourteen games, and this result moves them further clear at the summit.
By then you could see the pattern. San José controlled the boards with forty-four rebounds against twenty-five, and their ball movement told the real story — twenty-three assists to just three from the hosts. The home side managed zero offensive rebounds all night, which meant they rarely got a second chance.
And here's the thing about the numbers. San José shot forty-one from seventy-eight, while Capata Bulls managed twenty-six from sixty-four. The visitors also committed twelve turnovers to the hosts' seven, but their efficiency in the final third made up for sloppy moments. The hosts paid for a sloppy opening and never really recovered.
The away side have been on a good run lately. They beat Felix Perez Cardoso 93 to 75 and Coloniaz Gold 105 to 95 in their last two outings, and they're not showing any signs of slowing down. This win extends their winning streak and keeps pressure on anyone chasing them in the standings.
For Capata Bulls it is a continuation of a difficult spell. They lost 71 to 109 against Olimpia Kings on their last outing, and the form has not improved. Five defeats in their last five games means they are digging a deep hole.
