Tala broke the logic of locations by defeating Gimnasia at the start of the Rosarina Superliga quarter-final playoff series, while Temperley and Sportsmen were able to capture with basketball evidence what was an alleged superiority in the previous one by background. Permanently, Sportivo América went 1-0 against Náutico and this Monday from 21:30 Unión y Progreso will be locally against Ciclón in the opening match of the best-of-three series.
On Calle Laprida Gimnasia and El Tala kept fit with an explosive and high-scoring duel, in which the most impressive roster of the evening was recorded with 18 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists of the jewel Lucas Herrera plus 22 of Gero Verdaro and Juampi Camino’s 15th for 95-86 as a guest despite the absence of Santiago Cabrejas.
For Mensana, which obviously still has things to say in the series, Tato Chiana (ex law) scored 20 points and Maximiliano Yanson 15.
The other two clashes had greater breadth, with a good reading of the hosts, effectiveness, strength and victory from start to finish, even if this does not mean any conditioning for what is to come, as everything remains to be seen.
Temperley beat Talleres de Arroyo Seco in Morosano 89-76 with 26 from a fiery Augusto Torres in recent weeks plus 20 from Andrés Ottolini. During the visit, Antonio Davis scored 20 points. El Negro is thrilled that this could be his great season, but he knows he has to go slowly and this time the road has started well. The series will move to Arroyo Seco on Wednesday.
A couple of blocks away, at the Figna, the Sportsmen overwhelmed an Echesortu who this time could not complicate the game at Verde. He was 94 to 60 with exultant Cingolani (27 in 29 minutes), Hospital in assist mode (10 goal passes), implacable Dalpino (21), infinite Tripelli (14) and of course Boixader (16). During the visit, Ippolitti scored 14 goals. The second goes to Eche on Wednesday.
In the playout (in Argentine, permanence) the Sportivo América relied on the internal game of James (20) Molina (11) plus the game of Jaime (22) to beat the Náutico 77-60 and get closer to the desire to keep the category. During the visit, Nicolás Giraudo scored 19 goals. Wednesday goes the second by the river.
