ARG - Taylor terrific as Atenas edge Boca

MADRYN (Liga Nacional) - Terrell Taylor had 21 points and seven rebounds and
Atenas scraped a 69-68 triumph over Boca Juniors in a battle of Argentina
giants.

Boca led 52-49 heading into the final quarter but weren't able to hold on.

Taylor was 10 of 14 from the floor in his points haul.

Penarol stayed at the top of the Liga Nacional despite losing for the first
time in five games in a 82-65 defeat to Deportivo Madryn.

The victory was Madryn's first of the season, but was not enough to lift
them off the bottom of the table, while Penarol's lead over Quimsa at the
top was reduced to half a point.

Erron Maxey poured in 26 points and grabbed nine rebounds as Quimsa closed
the gap on Penarol to half a point by beating Ciclista Juninense 108-73.
