It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Immortals. It was a key game for the top position in the league. Worth to mention a great performance of Chilean swingman Juan Valenzuela (191-2000) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 33 points (!!!) and 11 rebounds and power forward Leonacis Pena (198) who added 17 points and 10 rebounds during the contest. At the losing side Edwin Espinal (198-1993) responded with 18 points and 8 rebounds. Immortals' coach Jermaine Barnes rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Fenix have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 4-0 record which they share with defeated Immortals.
