Sabios and Caribbean Storm Islands met in the Colombian LBP on 11 October, with the visitors securing a 38-46 victory. It was a tight affair that saw the away side hold their nerve when it mattered most. The hosts had taken the previous meeting just a day earlier, winning 82-74, but this time the balance shifted.
Caribbean Storm Islands have been struggling all season, sitting eighth with only one win from fourteen games and zero points. They arrived in Bogota after a heavy defeat to Sabios, but managed to turn things around. By then, the visitors had already shown they could compete, even if results had not been kind.
The match itself lacked the spectacle of their earlier clash. Points were at a premium, and both sides played cautiously through what was effectively a two-period contest. Sabios led for portions of the game, but the visitors found a way to close out the result. To be fair, the away team defended well in the final moments.
Recent form makes this result all the more surprising. Sabios have lost four of their last five games across all competitions, including heavy defeats to Toros del Valle and Payas. Caribbean Storm Islands have not won since early in the season, and this performance suggests they are still searching for consistency.
The win lifts Caribbean Storm Islands' confidence, even if the table remains unchanged. They remain at the bottom with zero points, but one victory is better than none. Sabios, meanwhile, will be looking to regroup after dropping another game.
