Quimsa needs win in Game 5 to stay alive in Argentina's basketball finals

Quimsa of Santiago del Estero will host Gimnasia y Esgrima de Comodoro Rivadavia on Wednesday night at the Estadio Ciudad for the decisive fifth game of the Liga Nacional de Básquet championship series. Gimnasia leads the best‑of‑five contest 3‑1 and a victory would clinch the title, while Quimsa must win to avoid elimination and would then have to secure three consecutive wins – a comeback that has never been achieved in the league’s history.

The match is being broadcast live on TyC Sports 2, with the arena expected to be full of Quimsa supporters. The series has featured tight scores, including a recent win for Quimsa that forced a supplementary period. Both teams will be looking to capitalize on the home‑court advantage as the championship reaches its climax.
