Lobos Plateados vs Fuerza Regia

The fixture was the second leg of a consecutive-night home series in Puebla. The opener on 24 August also took place at Gimnasio Miguel Hidalgo, but Lobos stepped up on the second night, outscoring Fuerza Regia by nine to reach 97 points.

Avry Holmes led Fuerza Regia with 19 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, according to Sofascore. His individual effort was not enough to prevent the visitors from dropping an away fixture in Puebla. For Lobos, the offence was distributed across a deep rotation that included Eric Gerard Washington, Mike Myers, Shaquille Johnson and Clevin Hannah.

The decisive stretch came in the second half. After a competitive opening, Lobos Plateados pulled clear by dictating the tempo through their experienced backcourt. The home side had shown resilience in tight finishes earlier in August — winning 89-88 and 95-84 on the road at Diablos Rojos — and that composure carried over.

The win also flipped the complexion of the back-to-back series. Having dropped the opener on 24 August, Lobos adjusted and delivered a response that halved the season series at one win apiece — a critical psychological marker with both teams now deadlocked in the table.

Avry Holmes (Fuerza Regia) — 19 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists. The guard carried the scoring load for the visitors but lacked sufficient support to swing the game. His 19 points led all Fuerza Regia scorers.

Mike Myers (Lobos Plateados) — The forward had been named "Jugador del Partido" in a previous Lobos fixture (per the club's Instagram) and continued his strong run, providing inside scoring and defensive presence that troubled Fuerza Regia's frontcourt.

Eric Gerard Washington (Lobos Plateados) — Dictated the playmaking responsibilities, helping Lobos reach a 97-point total that exceeded their season scoring average of 81.3 PPG entering the game.

Shaquille Johnson (Lobos Plateados) — Added perimeter scoring and energy off the bench, contributing to a balanced attack that proved too deep for Fuerza Regia's defence over 40 minutes.

Head-to-head, this was a breakthrough for Lobos Plateados. Their two prior meetings with Fuerza Regia since 2024 had ended in losses, the highest-scoring being a 91-86 Fuerza win. Surpassing even that mark by scoring 97 shows clear offensive progression.

Lobos entered the game averaging 81.3 PPG across a 7-5 start. The 97-point outburst was their highest output since a 104-77 demolition of Dorados on 17 August, illustrating that when this roster clicks, it can overwhelm opposition defences.

Fuerza Regia, by contrast, had been scoring 88.8 PPG entering the night — nearly eight points more than Lobos. Being held to 88 while conceding 97 suggests the defensive end let them down.

Both teams now sit at 8-5 in the LNBP table, locked together in what is shaping into a tightly contested mid-season picture.

The result levels both clubs at 8-5 in the LNBP standings. For Lobos Plateados, the win validates their competitive rise in a rivalry that had been one-sided until now. For Fuerza Regia, it is a missed opportunity to create breathing room and a warning that road form needs sharpening after consecutive away fixtures in Puebla.

Both teams continue their LNBP campaigns this week. Lobos Plateados face a run of fixtures away from home, while Fuerza Regia will look to rebound in their next outing.

Lobos Plateados' first win over Fuerza Regia was earned through a deep, high-scoring team performance that exploited home-court advantage in a back-to-back series. At 8-5, they have matched the quality of a Fuerza Regia side that will need to tighten its defence on the road. The rivalry now has genuine competitive heat.
