Mineros took on Diablos Rojos 98 in the LNBP on September 11th, 2026. They won 98 to 85. The hosts had lost their previous meeting just a day earlier, 81 to 75, and came out with a different edge this time.
The score suggests a game that ran away from them. Diablos Rojos 98 had beaten Mineros the day before, but this time the visitors could not hold their shape. By then it was clear they had nothing to lose, and that showed in the way they played.
To be fair, Mineros were not perfect. They had dropped two games in a row against Dorados on August 30th, winning one and losing the other. But against Diablos Rojos 98 they kept their heads and ground out the win.
We had backed the visitors at 50 per cent confidence. The prediction did not come off. What shifted the balance was the way Mineros worked the channels and forced Diablos Rojos 98 into uncomfortable positions.
The result puts another string on the hosts' bow. Diablos Rojos 98 have now lost two consecutive meetings against the same side, and the momentum has turned. The table will reflect that shift.
