At the beginning of the game it was San Lorenzo who stomped, as they got a quick 3/4 in triples and was able to take the first advantage of the night: 12-2 averaging the first set. Instituto was not solid on both sides of the court and closed the first quarter 13-22.
In the second period Lucas Victoriano moved the bench and found answers from Martín Fernandez and Tayavek Gallizi, who were key to lifting the team. Glory changed the chip, adjusted the defense and, with some triples by Luciano González, was able to reverse the situation and go ahead on the scoreboard, to go to the long break up 6: 39-33.
After halftime, glory began to control the game in defense and the cyclone was left dry in offense, since it converted its first points of the set after 5 minutes. Gallizzi became strong in the paint and the red-and-white was calmer, which gradually increased the difference on the scoreboard and closed the third quarter winning 58-45.
In the last ten minutes, Instituto began to manage energy and play with the clock in its favor. With a triple by Nicolas Copello and some free throws by Taya, glory sealed the story and they were left with a good victory against San Lorenzo by 70-62. Tayavek Gallizi was the top scorer with 19 points.
The next Instituto match will be on Friday 03/03 against Athens at the Carlos Cerutti Sports Center.
