Everything could happen at the game between two tied teams. Both third ranked Mineros de Cananea and 6th ranked Tijuana Zonkeys had identical 2-1 record. But Tijuana Zonkeys were not able to use a home court advantage and were defeated by the opponent from Cananea 90-82 on Wednesday night. The guests trailed by 1 point at the halftime before their 48-39 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Mineros de Cananea made 31-of-38 free shots (81.6 percent) during the game, while Tijuana Zonkeys only scored eight points from the stripe. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Mineros de Cananea made 10 blocks. Tijuana Zonkeys were plagued by 26 personal fouls down the stretch. Worth to mention a great performance of American guard Davin White (186-81, college: Cal.St. Northridge) who helped to win the game recording 20 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks and the other American import forward Derek Thomas (193-84, college: Appalachian St.) who added 17 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists during the contest. Five Mineros de Cananea players scored in double figures. Mineros de Cananea's coach used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. At the losing side Canadian guard Jermaine Watson (193-81, college: Boston Coll., agency: KMG Sports Management) responded with 30 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists and American forward Christopher Moore (205-82, college: Virginia Union, agency: Pro Management Agency) produced a double-double by scoring 23 points and 11 rebounds. Mineros de Cananea have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain third position with 3-1 record behind leader Culiacan, which they share with Guasave. Loser Tijuana Zonkeys dropped to the fifth place with two games lost. Mineros de Cananea will face Fuerza Guinda Nogales (#6) at home in the next round. Tijuana Zonkeys will play against Frayles de Guasave and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
