Dep. San Jose — Capiata Bulls: 101:68, LNB

Deporivo San José beat Capiata Bulls 63 to 35 in the LNB in Paraguay on September 24th. The hosts went up two points from where they started the evening and stayed there. To be fair, the gap had been wider for a while and only narrowed because the visitors stopped coming forward.

The home side worked the paint and then moved the ball out to the perimeter. They had twenty assists against ten for the visitors, which told you something about how they played. And here's the thing — they didn't need to run fast to pull away.

San José collected forty rebounds to twenty-four. They blocked five shots while Capiata managed none. The visitors took eighteen free throws, eleven of them landing, but that was about all they could manufacture.

The home side shot forty from the field out of seventy attempts. Eighty percent of their field goals were inside the arc, with ten three-pointers added on top. Capiata managed twenty-four makes from sixty-six shots and eight from beyond the line. The visitors also had seven turnovers to ten for the hosts, which isn't much to write home about.

San José sit top of the table now with thirteen wins from fourteen games and only one defeat. They've won five straight, including a 76 to 59 result against San Alfonso on Wednesday. Capiata have lost six in a row and that streak started against Olimpia Kings on the twenty-second.
