Dorados defeated Fersa Rey de Monterrey 67-96 in the Mexican LNBP on Wednesday evening. The visitors controlled the game from start to finish, never allowing their hosts back into contention. By the time the final whistle blew, the margin had settled at twenty-nine points.
The statistics tell a straightforward story. Dorados moved the ball with purpose, recording twenty-three assists against Monterrey's thirteen. The visitors also won the battle on the boards, pulling down thirty-five rebounds to their opponents' twenty. That advantage in possession and positioning translated into cleaner scoring opportunities throughout the contest.
Efficiency separated the two sides. Dorados converted thirty-seven of sixty-three field attempts, while Monterrey could only manage twenty-four from sixty-one shots. The visitors also capitalised from the free-throw line, hitting fifteen of nineteen. Monterrey was perfect from the stripe at nine from nine, but that small advantage could not offset the disparity in overall shooting.
What stands out is the turnover count. Both teams were relatively careful with the ball, with Monterrey committing twelve and Dorados eleven. Yet Dorados made more of what they had, generating eleven steals to Monterrey's eight. That defensive pressure helped sustain their offensive rhythm.
The result extends Dorados' recent activity after a mixed run. They had lost their previous meeting with Diablos Rojos before winning against Freseros de Irapuato in back-to-back games. Monterrey came in with mixed form too, having beaten Panteras and Soul before losing to Panteras. This time, the visitors took full advantage.
