As in the old days, the Dominican Rigoberto Mendoza came to the rescue of his team and, with a basket in the last seconds of the game, Capitanes took the 93-91 victory over the Ignite in what is the penultimate game of the de la Mexico City this season in the NBA G League.
Rigo managed to sneak in and score with less than 2 minutes remaining in the game. Winning basket in a very difficult game where, in addition, the team had a short rotation due to the last minute casualties of Jordan Howard and Garly Sojo of Venezuela.
This time, the Mexicans Fabián Jaimes and Moisés Andriassi had a few more minutes than usual. Jaimes played 13 minutes with 2 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal. Andriassi was more confident and in 17 minutes he had 6 points and 1 steal.
