Regular Season Round 28: Cocodrilos - Marinos 92-91
Date: March 31, 2012
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked Marinos (24-7) in Caracas on Saturday night. Visitors were edged by second ranked Cocodrilos (22-7) 92-91. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Marinos. It may be a crucial game in the contest for the top position in the league. The hosts trailed by 5 points at the halftime before their 49-43 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Cocodrilos held Marinos to an opponent 0.0 percent shooting from the field compared to 0.0 percent accuracy of the winners. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Cocodrilos made 9 blocks. Worth to mention a great performance of international forward Nestor Colmenares (203-87, college: Campbellsville) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 12 points and 12 rebounds and American guard Carl Elliott (193-83, college: G.Washington, agency: SportsTalent) who added 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists during the contest. At the losing side American forward Leon Rodgers (199-80, college: N.Illinois) responded with 26 points and 6 rebounds and the former international swingman Jose Vargas (196-82) scored 20 points. Five Cocodrilos and four Marinos players scored in double figures. Marinos' coach Jorge Arrieta rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Cocodrilos maintains second position with 22-7 record having 2 victories less than leader Marinos. Marinos at the other side still keep top place with seven games lost. Cocodrilos will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Marinos will play on the road against Bucaneros in La Guaira and are hoping to win this game.
