Félix Pérez Cardozo secured a comfortable 99-72 victory over Capata Bulls in the LNB on Thursday evening. The result extends the visitors' winning momentum as they hold fourth in the standings after 14 games.
By then the visitors had already established control through their shooting. They hit 14 of 29 three-point attempts compared to six from 22 for the hosts, and converted 39 of 76 field goals overall. To be fair, the gap in shooting accuracy told the story before the final whistle.
The visitors also moved the ball with significantly more success, recording 24 assists to the hosts' 13. They committed fewer turnovers as well, turning the ball over eight times against Capata's 13. And here's the thing — that kind of ball security makes the difference in close games, though this one was never really in doubt.
Rebounding was evenly matched at 36 for the hosts and 34 for the visitors, with both sides recording three blocks. The defensive rebounds were identical at 28 apiece, suggesting neither side dominated the glass particularly.
The result leaves Félix Pérez Cardoso with eight wins and six losses from 14 matches. Capata Bulls continue a run of heavy defeats, having lost their previous three matches by margins of 27, 49 and 28 points respectively.
