Lobos Plateados came into this fixture on a run of three wins from five games. They had taken 85-75 and 79-65 against Gambusinos, then lost narrowly to Fersa Rey de Monterrey before beating them again. And here's the thing — form like that makes a loss sting more than it should.
Freseros de Irapuato arrived with mixed results. They had lost 67-77 and 117-129 to Astros, then bounced back with 84-87 and 77-73 against Gambusinos. A 80-76 win over El Calor de Cancún rounded out their recent outings. To be fair, neither side could claim dominant momentum heading into Thursday.
The statistics tell a straightforward story. Freseros made 10 of 26 three-pointers compared to 7 of 28 for the hosts. They also pulled 37 rebounds to 32, with 31 defensive boards doing the heavy lifting. Lobos Plateados had more assists at 13 and more steals at 7, but the shooting gap was decisive. By then, the visitors had built a cushion the hosts could not close.
The result leaves Lobos Plateados with a setback in their recent sequence. Freseros de Irapuato extend their resilience with a road victory. And here's the thing — in a league where margins are thin, efficiency from distance often separates the two.
