The Creoles respected the Valencia Forum to beat the imported team on Saturday 97-94, in the 40th edition of the All-Star Games of the Super League of Professional Basketball (SPB).
The game was developed by the constant exchange of baskets. However, with drama until the end, a painful hat trick from Johornan Zamora gave the Creole quintet the win. Zamora contributed 11 points to the home team's victory and became the best player of the match along with Michael Carrera who managed to contribute another 17 points.
“I thought we had to go because there were only a few seconds left on the clock. I thought the best one was Gregory (Vargas) because I had just missed two shots and I was cold, but I took responsibility for that shot and it worked (…) We were at home and the idea was to enjoy it,” he said.
