Motilones del Norte edged past Piratas de Bogotá 69:66 in the LBP on Wednesday night. The away side completed a remarkable turnaround after suffering a 94:73 defeat to the same opponents just one day earlier. The result shifts the momentum in Colombia's top-flight basketball competition.

Piratas de Bogotá entered the fixture fourth in the table with eight wins from fourteen games. Motilones del Norte sat seventh after five victories and nine losses. Both sides had played fourteen matches by this point of the season.

The home team controlled much of the early exchanges, building a lead that seemed comfortable by the second quarter. But Motilones del Norte refused to fold, tightening their defence and finding rhythm on the offensive end. By then the game had tightened into something neither side could predict.

Things came to a head in the final period when the away side pulled level and then took the lead with just under three minutes remaining. Piratas de Bogotá pushed for an equaliser but could not find the shot. The away end never stopped throughout the closing stages.

The result leaves Piratas de Bogotá fourth with eight wins, while Motilones del Norte remain seventh with five victories. The gap between the two sides in the standings stays the same, but the psychological weight has shifted. A fourth straight win for their opponents would have changed everything, but this was enough to keep their campaign alive.
