Olimpia Kings Asuncion — Colonias Gold: 82:62, LNB

Olympia Kings Asunción and Coloniays Gold met in the Paraguayan LNB on Friday evening, with the hosts claiming an 82:62 victory over the visitors. The result moves the Kings further clear in second place while Coloniays remain third, though the gap between them widens. This was a match where the scoreboard told the story from the opening exchanges. The home side controlled the tempo throughout, working the channels with purposeful movement. Eight successful three-pointers against six for the visitors set the tone early and never let up. To be fair, Coloniays found their own rhythm at times, but the deficit grew too large to recover. The statistics reflect the one-sided nature of the contest. The Kings recorded 29 field goals from 66 attempts while Coloniays managed 23 from 68, and the difference in assists—20 to 12—showed how much more fluid the home attack was. Turnovers told another part of the story, with Coloniays surrendering the ball 14 times compared to 12 for their opponents. Rebounds were marginally better for the hosts at 43 to 38, though the offensive boards were fairly even at 9 and 11 respectively. What mattered more was the efficiency around the rim: the Kings converted 16 free throws from 23 attempts, while Coloniays managed just 10 from 16. Blocks were also slightly higher for the home side at four to three. In the table, the Kings sit on 12 wins from 14 games with only two defeats, while Coloniays have ten victories and four losses. Both sides carry zero points in the sense that the LNB standings do not accumulate them yet, but the win column speaks for itself. The hosts have kept their form steady, winning four of their last five outings including a 109:63 demolition of Deportivo Campalto. Coloniays came into the match on a run that included an 84:63 win over San Alfonso, but they could not match the consistency that has defined the Kings' season. The result means the visitors remain in third place but now trail by a wider margin. By then, the table goes out of the window in these games—the next fixture is what matters. The margin of 20 points will not be forgotten in either dressing room. For the Kings it extends a pattern of dominance at home, while for Coloniays it exposes the gaps that have cost them four games already.
