How Naval Remo Won It

Naval Remo’s defense was the foundation of the victory. They pressured the ball handler, rotated quickly on the help side and made every Febres SC possession feel difficult. The visitors were held to a low shooting percentage and struggled badly from beyond the arc, where clean looks were rare and open attempts often came late in the shot clock.

On offense, Naval Remo played with balance and patience. When Febres SC packed the paint, the hosts moved the ball to shooters. When the defense extended, Naval Remo attacked the basket. That inside-out approach produced a steady stream of efficient looks and helped them build a lead that never felt threatened after the opening quarter.

The rebounding battle also tilted heavily in Naval Remo’s favor. Their size on the frontline and activity from the guards on the defensive glass limited Febres SC’s second-chance opportunities. On the other end, offensive rebounds turned into extra possessions and easy points, slowly draining the visitors’ resistance.
