Bayamón, despite the loss, remains a force in conference A with a 6-2 record. Chris Duarte led Bayamón with 22 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists. Stephen Thompson Jr. debuted for Bayamón with 14 points.

The absence of NBA veterans Javale McGee and Danilo Gallinari due to health reasons undoubtedly impacted Bayamón’s performance.

Guaynabo Mets Dominate San Germán Without Barea

The Guaynabo mets showcased their depth and talent, overpowering the Athletics of san Germán 109-89 at the Mario “Quijote” Morales Coliseum.

Ysmael Romero nearly achieved a triple-double,finishing with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Derrick Williams and Bryce Cotton each added 20 points, while Jaysean Paige returned from injury to score 16. This balanced attack proved to much for San Germán to handle.

Barea is eligible to return on Saturday when the Mets visit the Creoles.His return will undoubtedly bolster Guaynabo’s chances, but the team has proven they can win without him. Will Barea’s return disrupt the team’s chemistry, or will it elevate them to an even higher level? This is a key question for the Mets as they look to solidify their position in the standings.
