The start of the game found Neptunia better, who scored a 5-0 run, but Racing responded with a passage of 8-0 to go ahead, in a first quarter that was very even and changeable on the scoreboard, and closed with those led by Aldo Risso by the minimum.
The Tricolor had an inspired Cristian Pérez on offense, with 12 points in the boy, while La Academia showed one more game together and distributed the scoring among six players, Francisco Imaz standing out with 5 points.
The second chapter began with the same dynamics and parity as the first quarter, where neither of them could impose a solid defensive work and both scored easily.
Although the locals maintained the advantage on the scoreboard, which with two minutes to go was always one possession. But in the last 90 seconds, with a triple by Pérez, who continued to be unbalanced on offense, and another by Juan Cruz Cequeira, they allowed Neptunia to get an advantage of seven at the end of the first half.
At the start of the third quarter, Racing outlined a reaction but it was no more than that, he put together a couple of good defenses, hurt running the field and approached three on the scoreboard.
But Neptunia adjusted the mark, corrected in attack and with the help of an on fire Cristián Pérez and a good collective game, widened the difference and reached the last segment with a two-digit advantage.
In the final chapter, the Tricolor was solid in his field, stole balls and did damage on the counterattack. For its part, Racing could not contain Pérez, the exclusive figure, and, saving good passages from Schaaf in the paint and some from Gabucci from the perimeter, it cost him to generate good actions in the opposite basket.
Thus, Neptunia won without objection and recovered from the loss it had suffered during the week (by 45 points) against San José on the road.
With the victory, those led by Aldo Risso reached their third success in four presentations, while the Academics added their third setback at the start of the season.
