San Lorenzo played a great first half, but in the second half he lowered his level and ended up at the gates of a new final. This Tuesday he fell in overtime against Quimsa, at Obras, 110-97 and was left out of the decisive match of the Americas Champions League, where Flamengo from Brazil was already waiting.

The Cyclone could not against Quimsa.
It seemed that everything was in the Barça domain but, after halftime, the Cyclone lowered the level and the Santiago del Estero team woke up. The third quarter ended 65-70 and in the last they even got up by 3. However, in the last ball Montero equalized at 91 and everything went to overtime.
In the last five minutes there were no chances. With a great Ramírez Barrios, Quimsa took advantage of his moments and sealed a bulky victory by 110-97 that closed the series 2-1. Unimaginable for how the afternoon had started San Lorenzo, which closes its participation in the competition that replaces the League of the Americas.
