Date: March 23, 2011
The most surprising game was another loss of top-ranked Caballeros de Culiacan (6-2) on the court of eighth ranked Bomberos de Mexicali on Wednesday night. Visitors were edged by Bomberos de Mexicali 87-85. The hosts trailed by 4 points at the halftime before their 47-41 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Bomberos de Mexicali made 30-of-38 free shots (78.9 percent) during the game. Bomberos de Mexicali outrebounded Caballeros de Culiacan 48-27 including a 30-18 advantage in defensive rebounds. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Bomberos de Mexicali made 14 blocks. 33 personal fouls committed by Caballeros de Culiacan helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Worth to mention a great performance of American guard Michael Gale (193-82, college: Centenary) who helped to win the game recording 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks and the former international power forward Hugo Carrillo (205-83) who added 15 points and 10 rebounds during the contest. Bomberos de Mexicali's coach Luis Nicoletti used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. American swingman Joel Leroy Webb (201-82, college: Bellevue, agency: 011 Sports) responded with 26 points and 6 rebounds and his fellow American import guard Kevin Sowell (190-81) scored 20 points. Four Caballeros de Culiacan players scored in double figures. Bomberos de Mexicali have a solid four-game winning streak. They moved-up to fifth place, which they share with 3 other teams. Defending champion Caballeros de Culiacan still keeps top position with two games lost. They share it with Cananea and Hermosillo. Bomberos de Mexicali is looking forward to face higher ranked Frayles de Guasave (#4) on the road in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Caballeros de Culiacan will play against the league's second-placed Mineros de Cananea and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
