The Professional Basketball Super League returned to take its course, following very few challenges that were played in the last couple of days due to the Easter holidays and the different Venezuelan domes experienced eight electrifying duels.
In the first clash this Saturday, the Spartans of the Capital District confirm their return to a good level, following defeating a fierce rival, such as Guaqueríes de Margarita (although they had several injured players). The people from the capital beat the “Tribe” 85-79, in a duel that was played at the José Joaquín Papá Carrillo Gymnasium. Will Davis was once more the top figure of those led by Néstor Salazar with 23 baskets.
