The
Olimpia Kings are cooking lately. I mean, they're really in the groove with their game. They've got this offensive rhythm that's hard to snuff out. In their recent games, they've been lighting it up, winning 3 out of their last 5 games. Highlights? Oh, how about that demolition against Deportivo Libertad where they thrashed them 104-44. That was wild!
Look out for their powerhouse - NONE other than ace shooter, Marco Fernandez. He’s been draining threes like he’s pouring a cup of joe. And don’t forget their nimble playmaker, Luis Gutierrez, who's slicker than oil on a skillet, dishing out assists like they’re going out of style. Overall, their defense needs a tidy-up – they’re all about offense, sometimes leaving gaps at the back. With the spitfire Segovia brothers at the helm, expect quick transitions.

Olimpia Kings, grabbing wins in only 1 of their last 3 encounters. They've been traveling on shaky ground, but their record shows they're relentless fighters.
