Regular Season Round 29: Cocodrilos - Marinos 98-97

Date: April 1, 2012
Round 29 in LPB means a new league leader. The biggest surprise took place in Caracas where host Cocodrilos (24-7) edged league's leader Marinos (24-8) 98-97 on Sunday evening. It was a key game for the top position in the league. Marinos cut a 21-point halftime deficit to one at the end of 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. The best player for the winners was international forward Nestor Colmenares (203-87, college: Campbellsville) who had a double-double by scoring 12 points and 12 rebounds. American guard Carl Elliott (193-83, college: G.Washington, agency: SportsTalent) chipped in 16 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. American forward Leon Rodgers (199-80, college: N.Illinois) produced 26 points and 6 rebounds and the former international swingman Jose Vargas (196-82) added 20 points respectively for the guests. 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 have a solid series of three victories in a row. They keep a position of league leader. Marinos at the other side dropped to the second place with eight games lost. They were replaced at the leadership position by Cocodrilos. Marinos will play next round against Bucaneros trying to make it back to the top of the standings. Cocodrilos will try to continue on its current victory against third ranked Gigantes in Puerto Ordaz.
