San Jose defeated Olimpia Kings Asunción 95:91 in the LNB on Saturday, 22 August 2026. The hosts maintained their position at the top of the table while the visitors dropped further behind in second place.
It was a game decided at the other end of the court, by and large. San Jose hit eight three-pointers from twenty-nine attempts, while Olimpia Kings managed twelve from thirty. By then the visitors had already taken the initiative on the perimeter, but the hosts adjusted and kept pace.
Shooting efficiency told the real story. San Jose landed thirty-three field goals from seventy attempts, compared to twenty-nine from Olimpia Kings, who also shot seventy from the floor. The hosts converted twenty-one free throws from thirty, matching the visitors on that front. And here's the thing — the extra two made baskets decided the margin.
On the boards Olimpia Kings pulled down forty-three rebounds to thirty-nine, seven of them offensive. San Jose relied more on defence, recording six steals and three blocks against four blocks and three steals from the visitors. Turnovers were slightly higher for Olimpia Kings at twelve, while San Jose kept theirs to ten.
The result leaves San Jose eleven points clear at the summit, with one defeat from fourteen games. Olimpia Kings sit two behind, having lost their second match of the campaign. Both sides have played the same number of fixtures, so the gap is mathematical rather than temporal.
San Jose extend their recent dominance over Olimpia Kings, having won their last two meetings. Their most recent fixture before this was a 93:75 victory over Felix Perez Cardoso on 17 August, while the visitors responded to a 108:87 win against Felix Perez Cardoso with four consecutive victories before this defeat.
