The turning point
The game swung in overtime when Fuerza Regia clamped down defensively after Freseros had taken momentum through the third quarter. Despite Freseros matching them point-for-point through regulation (and actually leading the third 25–19 and the fourth 22–23), the hosts found just enough in the extra five minutes. The ability to execute in the clutch — outscoring Freseros 10–9 in OT — proved the difference.
Key performers
No official player statistics were available from the provider at the time of writing, but the numbers tell a story of balanced contributions. Fuerza Regia's scoring was spread across all four quarters (27, 22, 19, 23 before OT), suggesting multiple players stepped up. Freseros' 25-point third quarter showed their explosive potential, but they could not sustain it through the extra period.

By the numbers — interpreted
The provider's quarter-by-quarter breakdown shows a game of clear phases: Fuerza Regia dominated the first half (49–44), Freseros controlled the third quarter (25–19 to take a one-point lead), and the fourth was tight enough to force overtime. The combined regulation score of 91–91 reflects how evenly matched these sides were. Fuerza Regia's overtime edge (10–9) was the slimmest possible margin of victory.
What it means
With the win, Fuerza Regia improved to 7–3 in the 2026–2027 LNBP season, holding a .700 winning percentage. The victory extended their winning streak to four games. Freseros, who had lost the first game of the series 105–94 on 15 August, now sit with a losing record.

Verdict
A classic LNBP encounter that had everything — runs, momentum shifts, and a nail-biting overtime finish. Fuerza Regia showed the composure of a championship-calibre side to close out the series sweep, while Freseros can take heart from pushing the hosts to the limit but will rue missed opportunities in the extra period.
