It was a key game for the top position in the league as both teams had the same 6-2 record before this meeting. The guests trailed by 1 point after first quarter, but they stormed back to get the 14-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 94-80. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Mineros de Cananea made 10 blocks. The best player for the winners was American forward Derek Thomas (193-84, college: Appalachian St.) who had a double-double by scoring 32 points and 12 rebounds (went 8 for 8 at the free throw line). His fellow American import guard Davin White (186-81, college: Cal.St. Northridge) chipped in 23 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. At the other side the best for losing team was American guard Kevin Sowell (190-81) who recorded 25 points and 5 blocks and the former international center Victor Avila (210-77, college: Oklahoma) added 18 points and 7 rebounds respectively. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Caballeros de Culiacan's coach rotated eleven players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games.

Defending champion dropped to the third place with three games lost. They share the position with Guasave.
