The Leones de Ponce's decisive elimination of the Conferencia B leader confirmed their transformation in the post-season. According to Gerente General Gaby Ortiz, the team does not place much importance on the regular season and is now focused on the conference final.
Ponce surprised the Atléticos de San Germán, advancing to the Conferencia B final of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN), where they will face either the Santeros de Aguada or the Capitanes de Arecibo. Despite San Germán's better regular season record and Ponce's 15-19 finish, the Leones won the series 4-1.
Ortiz attributed the team's improvement to overcoming early-season injuries and playing their best basketball in the post-season, while San Germán suffered key losses, including André Curbelo and Devon Daniels. Ortiz also highlighted Jezreel 'Macho' De Jesús's impressive performance, which has continued since his participation with the Selección Nacional.
