Regular Season Round 1: Gigantes - Guaros 72-71

Date: February 8, 2014
There was a small surprise in Puerto Ordaz where Gigantes (1-1) edged Guaros (1-1) 72-71 on Saturday. The hosts trailed by 4 points after first quarter, but they rallied back to get the 9-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 72-71. Gigantes dominated on the defensive end, holding Guaros to just 7 points in second quarter. They also forced 20 Guaros turnovers. International forward Axiers Sucre (199-78) stepped up and scored 14 points and 8 rebounds for the winners and Ghanian guard Kojo Mensah (193-85, college: Buffalo St., agency: Interperformances) chipped in 11 points. At the losing side international point guard Heissler Guillent (186-86, agency: Paris Global Sports) responded with 20 points and American power forward Marcus Fizer (203-78, college: Iowa St., agency: Worldwide Career Management) scored 14 points and 6 rebounds. Four Guaros players scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Gigantes will face Trotamundos (#3) in Valencia in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Guaros will play at home against Bucaneros and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
