Olimpico — Platense: 74:82, Liga A

Platense secured a 82-74 victory over Olímpico in the Liga A on 2 October 2026, extending their own struggles while handing their hosts another disappointment. The visitors were the better side on the night, converting their shooting opportunities more effectively than the hosts could manage.

Olímpico remain 13th on 36 games played with 15 wins and 21 defeats, while Platense sit 17th with 13 victories from the same number of matches. The result does not dramatically shift either position, but it adds to the pressure on both coaching staffs.

Platense shot 30 from 71 field goals compared to Olímpico's 22 from 60, and here's the thing — that difference in efficiency was decisive. The visitors also hit nine three-pointers to the hosts' eight, showing they could score from distance when it mattered.

Olímpico coughed up the ball 18 times, which gave Platense plenty of chances to hit them on the break. The visitors limited themselves to 11 turnovers and took advantage with 12 steals against just seven from the hosts.

By then, the rebounding battle had swung the other way. Olímpico pulled down 43 rebounds to Platense's 36, but that advantage could not overcome the shooting disparity and the turnover problem.

Both sides had mixed recent form heading into this fixture. Olímpico had lost to Regatas and San Lorenzo in their last five, while Platense had fallen to San Martin and Regatas as well. This result adds another loss to both records, though the margin of defeat tells a different story for each club.
