Randy Bautista shone with a double-double of 11 units and 10 assists.\n\nFor the Heroes (0-2), John Clark Jr. led the offense with 26 points, followed by Caleb Huffman with 20 and Eloy Vargas, who contributed 18 points and six rebounds.\n\nThe Titans dominated the first half with an effective long-range offense, leading by as much as 13 points and closing the half ahead 57-47. However, the Heroes reacted in the third quarter with a run that allowed them to take the lead, led by Huffman and Clark Jr., finishing that quarter ahead 73-71.\n\nThe last period was a constant exchange of baskets. A three-pointer by Spearman gave the home team the lead back in the final minutes, but Vargas tied the score with a long-range shot with 16 seconds left. When it seemed that the duel would go to overtime, Spearman appeared again with the key play that sealed the victory.\n\nThe day on Friday will continue with the Marineros de Puerto Plata facing the Ca\u00f1eros del Este, while the Reales de La Vega will visit the Gigantes de San Francisco de Macor\u00eds.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAN CRIST\u00d3BAL. \u2013 In an electrifying finish, Brandon Spearman scored a three-pointer with just 0.8 seconds remaining, leading the Southern Titans to a 93-90 victory over the Heroes of Moca in the continuation of the LNB Super League.
