Overview
- Quimsa defeated Gimnasia de Comodoro Rivadavia 77-74 in overtime on Sunday to extend the Liga Nacional final to a fifth game.
- The game was tied 66-66 at the end of regulation after a late possession in which Carlos Rivero passed to Sebastián Carrasco and his long three rimmed out, sending the match to extra time.
- Leonardo Lema led Quimsa with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists while Sammie Freeman hit a key basket in overtime and Brandon Robinson closed the game with two clinching free throws.
- Gimnasia still holds a 3-1 series lead and will return to Santiago del Estero for Game 5, where Quimsa must win to avoid elimination and where home-court advantage will again favor Gimnasia.
- The result halts Gimnasia's opportunity to celebrate a title at home and gives Quimsa a chance to recover from a heavy 76-59 loss in the previous meeting as momentum shifts back to Santiago del Estero.
