Caballeros de Culiacan made 18-of-22 free shots (81.8 percent) during the game. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Caballeros de Culiacan made 12 blocks.

Forward Adrian Henning (203-82, college: Austin Peay St.) contributed with 18 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. Caballeros de Culiacan's coach Jonathan Meza used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. Forward Travis Gabbidon (201, college: UTSA) answered with 20 points and 6 rebounds and power forward Cyrus Tate (203-85, college: Iowa, agency: Edge Sports) added 21 points in the effort for Tijuana Zonkeys.
