We have to kepp playing like this. It's hard to beat a team that plays together on the same page It is an important to have an advantage in the local have that sixth man at home with the support from fans we can continue playing at a high level and it is a good to define the series in Nicaragua. It's something that i love the format that BCLA has".

"This is my first experience in the country and i have nothing but good thing to say. People are starting to fall in love with sport. There are players here who are hungry to improve and with that basketball will continue to grow in the country".
