Deportivo San José saw off Deportivo Campo Alto 107:79 in the LNB on Thursday evening, extending their grip on the top of the table. The hosts have won thirteen of their fourteen games now, and by then it had become clear this was more about consistency than anything else. Campo Alto remain sixth with four wins and ten defeats, a gap that feels wider than the numbers suggest.
and here's the thing — the margin of twenty-eight points says something about how far apart these sides are. San José are eleven points clear at the summit, and they won't be letting that go lightly. Campo Alto's position has not shifted, but the distance to the teams above them only grows.
The home side have been running hot lately. They beat Olympia Kings Assumption on three consecutive outings, winning 85:79, 81:73 and 74:68 in a row. To be fair, they did drop a game at home to Félix Pérez Cardoso 92:95, but they've kept their heads since then and are running out of games to lose. One mistake ends it, and they haven't made many of those this season.
Campo Alto's recent run has been harder to read. They lost 69:78 to Deportivo Amambay, then lost 89:90 to the same side, and before that they edged Ciudad Nueva 80:81. They beat San Alfonso 73:63 in between, but they also lost 74:88 to Amambay again. The pattern is there — they can compete, but they haven't put together a run.
What matters now is the table. San José sit first with thirteen wins from fourteen, and they'll make life awkward for anyone chasing them. Campo Alto are still in the hunt for a better finish, but they've got work to do. The history between them adds an edge, and this one ended the way it did for a reason.
