The scoring unfolded with La Family jumping out to a fast start, posting 24 points in the first period compared to Tumba Cocos’ 15. Although Tumba Cocos responded in the second quarter with 24 points of their own to La Family’s 17, the momentum swung decisively back in La Family’s favor in the third quarter, where they exploded for 29 points to Tumba Cocos’ 14.
