Olimpia Kings have an opportunity to advance to the Apertura finals of the National Basketball League this Thursday if they can secure a sweep against Colonias Gold. Meanwhile, Deportivo San José and Félix Pérez are locked in a 1-1 tie in their Top 4 series, setting the stage for a decisive fourth game.

The National Basketball League's Top 4 playoff semifinals reach their third matchday with Kings holding a commanding 2-0 lead over Gold. In the other semifinal, San José and Félix Pérez Cardozo are tied 1-1. Olimpia will host Colonias Gold at the Polideportivo de las Fuerzas Armadas at 8:30 PM.
