Quimsa saw off Boca Juniors 105-96 in the Liga A on October 11th, the hosts holding their nerve to extend their lead at the top of the table. By then the scoreline told a story of control rather than drama, and here's the thing — Quimsa had already established their rhythm early on.
What stood out was the efficiency from long range. Quimsa hit 17 three-pointers compared to Boca's 13, and that gap in outside shooting proved decisive. To be fair, Boca got in behind occasionally, but Quimsa's defensive structure never fully broke down.
We'd tipped the home side earlier, 57% confidence on paper, and the game played out as predicted. Not because of any tactical masterclass, but because Quimsa simply took care of business. They handed the visitors a reality check on their own floor.
The statistics tell part of the picture. Quimsa recorded 19 assists against 6 turnovers, while Boca managed 17 assists but coughed up the ball 14 times. That turnover differential — eight errors to six — was where the game was decided more than any shooting display.
On the boards, Boca won the rebounding battle 31-23, but it didn't matter. Quimsa's five offensive rebounds versus Boca's ten made little difference when the visitors couldn't convert second chances. The hosts never got going in transition after their early surge.
Recent form adds context. Quimsa had won three of their last four before this match, including a comfortable 83-77 over Atenis. Boca's run was less consistent — they'd beaten Obera 96-73 but lost to Ritcas 70-77. Both sides brought momentum, but only one carried it through.
The result keeps Quimsa four points clear at the summit with 24 wins from 36 games. Boca sit fifth with 22 victories, and the gap between them and the leaders is now tangible. Cup football has its own rules, but this was pure league basketball — no surprises, just execution.
