The Mariners, with a record of 7-8, were left at the gates of qualification.\n\nThe end of the game was dramatic. With only 10 seconds on the clock, the Mariners had the opportunity to take the lead or tie, but their three-point attempts were unsuccessful, ending the match with a score of 74-76.\n\nThe lack of success in free throws, with 16 misses out of 37 attempts, was a determining factor in Puerto Plata&#8217;s defeat.\n\nThe game&#8217;s partial scores were 22-23, 22-14, 19-22 and 13-15, showing the Titans&#8217; consistency throughout the match. Shawn Williams scored 10 points, and Jhonatan Araujo contributed nine points and eight rebounds for the winners.\n\nFor the Mariners, Anderson Garc\u00eda scored 18 points and grabbed 14 rebounds; Luis Feliz added 14 points and seven rebounds, and Emmanuel Omogbo finished with 10 units.\n\nThe Titans had a 39% field goal percentage (27-69), 34 rebounds, 11 assists, and a 71% free throw percentage (12 of 17).\n\nThe absence of Emmanuel Omogbo, due to personal fouls, was taken advantage of by the Titans to take control of the game in the first half, which they won by seven points (44-37).\n\n\n<p>Although the Mariners led the first period by one point (23-22), they had difficulties scoring, with a 31% field goal percentage (10 of 32) and only two three-pointers converted out of 14 attempts (14%).<\/p>\n\n\nThe Titans, for their part, achieved a 52% field goal percentage (17 of 33) and a 53% three-point percentage (8 of 15).\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Upcoming LNB Super League Matches<\/h2>\n\n\nThe LNB Super League will not have activity this Monday, but the games will resume on Tuesday. The Metros will receive the Marineros de Puerto Plata at 8:00 pm at the Gran Arena Oscar Gobaira, and the Titanes del Sur will visit the Soles del Este in the Rolando Ram\u00edrez covered court in San Pedro de Macor\u00eds, at 8:30 pm.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Richard Bautista Leads Southern Titans to Victory Over Mariners in Thrilling Duel PUERTO PLATA \u2013 In an encounter full of emotion, Richard Bautista had a stellar debut, guiding the Titanes del Sur to a 76-74 victory over the Marineros de Puerto Plata in the Super Liga LNB game held this Sunday at the Fabio Rafael [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":119287,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[997],"tags":[389,1451,2223,5632],"class_list":{"0":"post-119286","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nationals","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-lnb","10":"tag-sailors","11":"tag-titans-of-the-south"},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=119286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/119286\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/119287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=119286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=119286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alofokedeportes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=119286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
