The main man in that win was center Ondrey Balvin and the hosts will have to try to limit the effectiveness of the player who averaged 10.7 points and 9.1 rebounds this season. Bourg, which has only lost once at home all season, will base its game on an excellent defense that allowed just 76.4 points during the regular season, second-best in the league. Offensively, the host will look for three-point shooting from Zaccharie Risacher (56.1% for triples) and Hugo Benitez (42.9%), while Prometey's chief long-range weapon Issuf Sanan (40.4% from deep) may struggle against a Bourg perimeter defense that has allowed opponents to convert a league-low 29.2% of three-pointers.
