The Toros de Artemisa culminated a week with ups and downs, after being swept away by Ciego de Ávila and then taking it out on Matanzas, to show a balance of three wins and the same number of losses.
In a battle to define "the toughest of the savannah", Bulls and Buffaloes from Ciego de Ávila faced each other at the Ciudad Deportiva Coliseum, where the Buffalos brought out the brilliance of yesteryear, which led them to conquer nine crowns of the LSB.
With the resistant Yan Luis Haiti (45 years old) in front, the Buffaloes took the victory in both games with scores of 74-68 and 89-77, despite the fact that ours came in front in the last quarter, when they lost the advantage .
As we learned by electronic communication with the team's coaching staff, the boys rushed and made selection errors at the end of both games. The balance: two very important wins in Avilanian aspirations and two tough defeats for the current LSB runners-up.
During the weekend they traveled to Matanzas in search of compensation against some Guerreros who have not won yet. On the first day, those led by Raudal Balaguert comfortably won 71-55 to demonstrate their superiority.
On Sunday they won again with a loose slate of 79-64, in order to match their balance of won and lost. According to statements by Lien Pedro, technical assistant of the team, the key to the victories was the strong defense imposed throughout the match, together with the collective game.
For next week, the Bulls will have to face the difficult Capitalinos as visitors, on Wednesday and Thursday, and then travel to Sancti Spíritus on Saturday and Sunday.
