Regular Season Round 1: Pioneros - Soles 84-77
Date: September 4, 2012
Everything could happen in Cancun at the game between two tied teams. Both leader Pioneros and bottom-ranked Soles had identical 0-0 record. This time Pioneros used a home court advantage and won against the opponent from Mexicali 84-77 on Tuesday night. It was a key game for the top position in the league. The hosts trailed by 1 point at the halftime before their 19-9 charge in the third quarter, which allowed them to win the game. Pioneros made 30-of-39 free shots (76.9 percent) during the game. Pioneros had a 24-13 advantage in offensive rebounds. It was a great shooting night for Pioneros especially from behind the arc, where they had solid 61.5 percentage. Soles were plagued by 27 personal fouls down the stretch. Quite impressive performance for Jamaican-American point guard Akeem Scott (186-83, college: High Point) who helped to win the game recording 23 points (made all of his seven free throws). American forward Jeremis Smith (203-86, college: Georgia Tech) contributed with 13 points for the winners. Scott is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas. Pioneros' coach Josep Claros used entire bench and allowed the starting five to get some rest. American forward Nicchaeus Doaks (202-87, college: Chattanooga) answered with 21 points and 6 rebounds (on 9-of-11 shooting from the field) and the other American import guard Carl Elliott (193-83, college: G.Washington, agency: SportsTalent) added 18 points in the effort for Soles. Pioneros (1-0) keep a position of league leader, which they share with 7 other teams. Loser Soles still closes the standings with one game lost. Pioneros will face league's second-placed Correcaminos in Ciudad Victoria in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Soles will play at home against Huracanes (#14) in Tampico and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
