Puerto Varas Basket and Puerto Montt Básquet completed the Liga Nacional’s Big 8 lineup by claiming the final two postseason berths through their Play-In series.

Puerto Varas advanced after a dramatic 76-75 victory over Universidad Católica. Foreign player Jonathan Ocasio led the way with 27 points, seven rebounds and three steals, securing the Lakeside team’s place among the tournament’s eight best sides.

The game also carried a special emotional note for Puerto Varas. It marked the farewell of national point guard Marcelo Pérez, who ended his spell with the club before continuing his professional career abroad.

Puerto Montt Básquet took the other remaining spot after an agonizing win over Colo Colo at the Irene Velásquez Municipal Gymnasium in Puente Alto. American Kai Mitchell-Walkins emerged as the game’s hero and was named the day’s Most Valuable Player.
