Second Stage Round 3: Bucaneros - Cocodrilos 87-84

Date: May 1, 2012
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of Cocodrilos (2-2) in La Guaira on Tuesday night. Visitors were edged by Bucaneros (2-2) 87-84. It was a key game for the top position in the league as both teams had the same 1-2 record before this meeting. Cocodrilos were trailing by 3 points at halftime but managed to get 5-point lead after three quarters before a 28-20 charge of Bucaneros, which allowed them to win the game. They held Cocodrilos to an opponent 0.0 percent shooting from the field compared to 0.0 percent accuracy of the winners. It was a good game for Uruguayan forward Emilio Taboada (191-82) who led his team to a victory with 29 points. American guard Sek Henry (193-87, college: Nebraska) contributed with 15 points for the winners. Bucaneros' coach Guillermo Narvarte used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. International power forward Luis Bethelmy (200-86) answered with 20 points and Dominican power forward Jack Michael Martinez (203-81, agency: Paris Global Sports) added 14 points and 9 rebounds in the effort for Cocodrilos. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Bucaneros keep a position of league leader, which they share with 3 other teams including defeated Cocodrilos. Bucaneros will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Cocodrilos will play on the road against the league's second-placed Guaiqueries in Porlamar and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
