With an exhibition of character and collective play, the Paisas team won 93-85 against Cimarrones in the second game of the grand final of the Colombian Professional Basketball League, played in a euphoric Iván de Bedout Coliseum before more than 1,400 fans.

With this victory, the Antioquia team takes a crucial 2-0 lead in the series and is just one win away from lifting the trophy. If achieved, Paisas would seal the first two-time championship in the history of professional basketball in the department.

The undisputed figure of the night was the American and former NBA player, Ty-Shon Alexander, who had a memorable performance. Alexander was the game’s top scorer with 27 points, to which he added 8 rebounds and 1 assist.

His impact was devastating on the scoreboard, leaving a personal record by hitting 6 consecutive three-pointers, a streak that was decisive for the corn team to maintain a comfortable advantage for most of the game.

Paisas demonstrated once again the seal that has characterized him throughout the season: intense defense, solid team play and exceptional ball circulation that always finds the best positioned man.

One step away from glory! Paisas goes 2-0 and seeks the historic two-time championship

This identity based on trust and the ability to adjust in key moments was reflected in the periods of the match: Paisas dominated the first three (28-19, 24-16, 23-20), only giving up the last one (18-30) when the advantage was already consolidated.

The Antioquia team now travels with sky-high morale to Chocó, where the third point of the series will be played next Tuesday, December 9 at 7:00 pm

There, Paisas will seek the “back to back” to be crowned champion of Colombia, putting the finishing touch to a spectacular season and writing a golden chapter in the history of the discipline in Antioquia.
