The Zulia Pipers are still intractable and this Saturday they maintained their undisputed first place in the Professional Basketball Super League - SPB after winning the Zulian match against Brillantes del Zulia with a score of 78-63.

The duel was full of emotions and tough plays, under the inclement heat of the Marabine and an audience that enjoyed their game. The player Nazahia Carter was a key player for the pipers since he knew how to position himself the ball and also fight it under the boards. In total, the American scored 24 points with 4 rebounds and 3 assists, which added to acting as a collective team, allowed those led by Dominican Julio Duquela to gain a foothold in the general standings.

Perhaps the first quarter was the tightest and ended with a score of 19-20. In fact, Gaiteros del Zulia went to halftime with a six-point lead (34-40), although the current champions had already picked up the pace of the game.

But the game's breaking point was in the third quarter when Nazahia Carter was uncovered both on offense and defense, and the Furreros strengthened their game by winning 24-13 in the third period. The rest was history and the good thing is that Brillantes never failed and the fans enjoyed a good game.

In addition, Jesús “El Gladiador” Martínez and captain Luis Duarte stood out, who dominated the boards with 10 rebounds each.

For Brillantes, Duane Wilson (11 pts) and Jesuangel Guillén (10 pts) were the most outstanding players.

Today, Sunday Gaiteros y Brillantes is due to host Marinos BBC in Maracaibo, while Globetrotters from Carabobo faces Spartans at the Valencia Forum.
