Match Overview
The contest lived up to its billing as a classic LNBP tussle, with neither team able to create significant separation for most of the night.

The score remained tight through the first three quarters, setting up a tense fourth quarter that ultimately belonged to the Soles' veteran composure.
Key Moments

For the home side, the backcourt duo carried the scoring load, combining for 38 points. The veteran point guard orchestrated the offense crisply down the stretch, while the shooting guard hit timely shots from beyond the arc.
