Colonias Gold vs Capiata Bulls

The game swung decisively in the first quarter when Colonias Gold opened with a 15–4 run inside the first six minutes. Capiata Bulls called an early timeout to halt the momentum, but the damage was done. The home side's defensive rotations and rebounding dominance—bolstered by their size advantage in the paint—made it nearly impossible for the Bulls to mount a comeback. Capiata never got closer than 14 points after the first quarter.

Colonias Gold: The home side's entire starting five contributed across the board.

• Hans Ponce and Diego Silva led the scoring, with Ponce providing a spark from beyond the arc.
• Edwin Mijares dictated the tempo from the guard position, while captain Juan Poisson anchored the defence with his veteran presence.
• The frontcourt pairing of Atencio Gil and Alen Juarez controlled the boards, limiting Capiata to one-and-done possessions.

Capiata Bulls: Despite the heavy defeat, Héctor Scala worked hard as the team captain and primary ball-handler. Diego Figari showed energy off the bench but received limited support.
