The Titanes del Licey continued their strong form in the Dominican Republic Liga Nacional de Baloncesto (LNB) with a convincing 93–74 victory over the Reales de La Vega on June 16, 2026. Playing at home, the Titanes used a balanced attack and stifling defense to secure the win and improve their position in the standings.

First-Half Run Seals the Outcome

The game was tight through the first quarter, with Titanes leading 23–20. However, a 17–5 run early in the second period opened up a 40–25 advantage.

The Titanes’ lead reached 24 points in the third quarter before they cruised to the final margin.

Reales de La Vega were led by forward Edwin de la Rosa, who scored 18 points and grabbed 7 rebounds. Guard Juan Miguel Suero added 15 points but struggled with efficiency, shooting 5-of-14 from the field. La Vega’s struggles from three-point range (5-of-19) contributed to their inability to close the gap.
