Soles de Mexicali 83-68 Mineros de Zacatecas: League leaders extend run to six

Soles surged clear at the top of the LNBP standings after a dominant 83-68 victory over Mineros de Zacatecas at Auditorio PSF in Mexicali on Friday night.

The win, in Round 11 of the 2026-2027 season, saw Soles improve to a league-leading record while handing Mineros just their fourth defeat of the campaign.

How it unfolded

Soles took control from the opening quarter and never looked back. They built a double-digit lead in the first half and maintained separation throughout, despite Mineros' attempts to rally after the break.

Detailed quarter-by-quarter scores were not published at the time of writing, but the 15-point final margin reflects Soles' consistent grip on proceedings. Mineros, who entered the contest with a three-game winning streak, were held to their second-lowest points total of the season.

The turning point

Mineros trimmed the deficit to single figures early in the third quarter, threatening to turn the game into a contest. Soles responded emphatically with a decisive run that restored a double-digit cushion and deflated the visitors' comeback hopes. From that point, Mineros never got closer than 13 points.

Key performers

Official individual statistics were not immediately available from the provider. Soles' collective effort was the story — balanced scoring, strong defensive rotations and disciplined execution on both ends of the floor.

Mineros' offence struggled to find rhythm against Soles' defensive schemes, with their primary scorers forced into difficult shots throughout.

Pre-match reporting from El Sol de Zacatecas indicated Soles entered the game at 8-2 (second place) and Mineros at 7-3 (third place), making this a top-three clash with clear standings implications.

What it means

Soles' ninth win of the season pushes them to the top of the LNBP table ahead of their next fixture. They travel to face Santos del Potosí next. Mineros (7-4) slip in the standings and return home to host Abejas de León.

The LNBP season, featuring 14 teams, runs through to the playoffs in September 2026.

Verdict

Soles delivered a statement victory in a top-of-the-table clash, controlling the game from start to finish. Their defensive discipline and depth proved too much for a Mineros side that had been in strong form. If Soles maintain this level, they will be the team to beat in the LNBP title race.
