Caimanes del Llano secured a 67-63 victory over Piratas de Bogotá in the LBP on 6 October 2026, extending their dominance in the head-to-head rivalry. The result leaves both sides with identical records of eight wins and six defeats, though Caimanes hold third place while Piratas sit fourth. And here's the thing — the two teams had met just two days earlier, when Caimanes ran out 92-70 winners at the same venue.
Piratas started the season with momentum but have struggled of late. Their recent form shows three losses in their last four matches, including the heavy defeat to Caimanes on 4 October and a 87-95 setback against Motilones del Norte on 1 October. They managed to pick up a narrow 83-80 win over the same opposition on the same day, but that victory came too late to alter their trajectory. By then the confidence had clearly shifted.
Caimanes arrived with mixed fortunes of their own. They opened their latest stretch with that emphatic 92-70 victory over Piratas, but had since dropped three consecutive games against Payas, losing 97-105, 81-88 and 75-80 in succession. A 79-56 win over Sabios on 17 May was their only other result in the window. To be fair, they needed this response after the run of defeats.
The 67-63 scoreline suggests a tighter contest than either side might have expected, particularly given the one-sided nature of their previous meeting. Piratas had not won since that 1 October game against Motilones, and this result extends that run. Caimanes, meanwhile, have now won both encounters between the sides this season.
Both teams carry zero points in the standings — the table has only registered wins and losses so far. The gap between third and fourth remains defined by this result. Caimanes hold the edge on goal difference after their earlier victory, and tonight's narrow success keeps them ahead on that metric. Piratas cannot afford another slip if they want to close the gap.
