• Final score: Santos de San Luis 108, Freseros 87
• League: Liga Nacional de Baloncesto Profesional (LNBP)
• Date: October 3, 2026
• Quarter scores: Santos 28-19, 58-42, 82-67, 108-87

Santos controlled the glass, won the turnover battle and consistently found open shooters from beyond the arc. Freseros had stretches of quality offense, especially through their perimeter creators, but could not match Santos’s efficiency or depth for four quarters.

Key Moments That Decided the Game

Santos opened with a 10-2 run and immediately forced Freseros into an early timeout. Freseros answered behind aggressive drives and a pair of three-pointers, cutting the deficit to 35-31 midway through the second quarter. That was as close as they would get.

Santos responded with a 12-0 surge before halftime, fueled by back-to-back triples and a fast-break dunk. The run pushed the lead to 58-42 at the break and shifted the game’s momentum permanently. Freseros tried to rally in the third quarter, pulling within 67-61, but Santos answered with an 11-0 run of their own to end any doubt.

In the fourth quarter, Santos emptied the bench while still extending the margin. The reserves kept the offense flowing, and the home crowd celebrated a statement win in the LNBP regular season.

Tactical Story

Santos de San Luis won this game with pace and spacing. Their guards repeatedly used high ball screens to force switches, then either attacked the rim or kicked out to open shooters. The result was a highly efficient offensive night: Santos shot 52% from the field and knocked down 15 three-pointers.

Defensively, Santos mixed man-to-man pressure with a compact zone that frustrated Freseros in the half court. Freseros shot just 41% from the floor and committed 18 turnovers, many of which turned into easy Santos points. The rebounding battle also went clearly to Santos, who finished with a 44-34 advantage on the boards.

Freseros’s best moments came when they played through the paint and attacked the offensive glass. But too often, their possessions ended in contested jumpers or live-ball turnovers. Against a team as balanced as Santos, those mistakes proved costly.

Standout Players

Santos de San Luis had five players score in double figures, a reflection of their ball movement and offensive depth. The backcourt led the way, but the frontcourt also made key contributions on both ends.

• Jalen Hudson (Santos): 17 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists

• Tyreke White (Freseros): 23 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists
• Luis Andriassi (Freseros): 16 points, 5 assists
• Jonathan Machado (Freseros): 12 points, 8 rebounds

Thomas was the engine for Santos, controlling tempo and making the right play against every defensive look. Herrera’s shooting helped break the game open in the second quarter, while Ramírez’s double-double gave Santos a physical presence inside. For Freseros, White was the bright spot, scoring from all three levels and keeping his team within striking distance during the first half.
