Solés beat Mineros 78-71 in the LNBP on 22 August 2026, completing a quick double over their opponents. The hosts had won 84-68 the previous day, and this time held firm in a tighter contest. By then Mineros had already lost two of their last five games, including both meetings with Solés this fortnight.
Mineros have not won since 17 August, when they edged past Astaros 89-83. Before that they had lost to Solés, and since then they have dropped another two matches — one to El Calor de Cancún and one to Solés again. To be fair, they have shown they can score, with three straight games above 75 points before this one.
Solés on the other hand have been dominant in those numbers. They have won four of five, including the two against Mineros, and have scored at least 71 in every game. And here's the thing — they ended a barren spell against Mineros that had stretched into two straight defeats a few weeks back.
What this means in practice is that Solés are now two wins from three in this mini-series. Mineros have lost both matches and will need to regroup quickly if they want to stay in contention. The gap between them is not just in the scoreline but in the momentum.
There is no table to reference yet — the season has barely started — so the story is contained in what has happened so far. Solés held their nerve when Mineros pushed back, and that is what separates the two sides at this stage.
