Mexico City, January 13, 2023 &#8211; The Mexico City Capitanes defeated the Austin Spurs in the first game of a doubleheader series, 127-125. The Capitanes returned to Mexico City to play a back-to-back with the Spurs. 



During the first quarter, Justin Minaya, Rigoberto Mendoza and Mason Jones led the team on offense and defense to take a 5-point lead in the first quarter ending with a score of 33-28. For the second quarter, Ramón Díaz&#8217;s team encountered difficulties in the counterattack and rebounding failures, which allowed Austin to shorten the lead and at times get ahead on the scoreboard. However, Capitanes knew how to get the game out and went into halftime with a 59-58 lead. 



During the second half, Capitanes&#8217; rhythm began to drop and the offensive intensity was not as present during the third quarter. Gary Clark had to leave the game due to fatigue, leaving Mendoza and Jones with the responsibility of maintaining the game in favor of those of Mexico City. The Capitanes turnovers gave Austin the opportunity to take the lead after the third quarter, 92-90. In a heart-stopping last quarter, both teams fought for the victory until the last seconds of the match, giving an offensive demonstration that did not stop a foul against Jones with two shots that helped them earn the 127-125 win. Capitanes will face Austin Spurs again tomorrow at 6 pm at the CDMX Arena.
