Very important is a road loss of second ranked Iraurgi SB (11-5) against ninth ranked Caja 87 (8-8) on Sunday night. Visiting Iraurgi SB was crushed by Caja 87 in 97-60.

Even 15 points and 5 rebounds by American guard Kevon Godwin (188-2000, college: Angelo St.) did not help to save the game for Iraurgi SB. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games.
