The Regular Season in LigaA is slowly approaching the end. But there may be still some important changes in the final standings in the last 3 rounds. The round was rather attractive and full of interesting results. The round ended with derby games, favorites losing the games and games ending by tiny margin. Here is the last round review presented by ESL.
An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in Cordoba. Third ranked San Martin Corrientes faced their biggest opponent Instituto. Guests from Corrientes (25-6) defeated host Instituto (25-12) 85-81. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Instituto. San Martin Corrientes made 22-of-27 free shots (81.5 percent) during the game. American power forward Justin Keenan (202-88, college: Ferris St.) fired 21 points and 6 rebounds for the winners. The former international Federico Aguerre (203-88) chipped in 14 points and 8 rebounds. American forward Dwayne Davis (196-89, college: S.Mississippi) produced 31 points for lost side. San Martin Corrientes have an impressive series of five victories in a row. Defending champion moved-up to second place. Instituto at the other side dropped to the third position with 12 games lost. San Martin Corrientes are looking forward to face Hispano Am. (#11) in Rio Gallegos in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Instituto will play again at home against the league's second-placed San Martin Corrientes (#2) and it may be a tough game between close rivals. Leader San Lorenzo delivered the twenty seventh victory. This time they beat 13th ranked Olimpico de La Banda (15-20) 83-73. Worth to mention a great performance of international forward Gabriel Deck (199-95) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 21 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists. Dar Tucker contributed with 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners. Naturalized Italian center Damian Tintorelli (204-81) answered with a double-double by scoring 21 points and 12 rebounds for Olimpico de La Banda. The victory was the sixth consecutive win for San Lorenzo. Defending champion maintains first place with 27-6 record. Olimpico de La Banda lost their fifth game in a row. They keep the thirteenth position with 20 games lost. San Lorenzo will play against Comunicaciones (#15) in Mercedes in the next round which should be an easy win for them. Olimpico de La Banda will have a break next round. A very close game took place in Mercedes between Argentino and Comunicaciones. Tenth ranked Argentino (17-19) got a very close victory on the road over 15th ranked Comunicaciones (13-21). Argentino managed to escape with a 2-point win 91-89 on Saturday evening.

Ferrocarril at the other side keeps the nineteenth position with 23 games lost. Boca Juniors' next round opponent will be higher ranked Comunicaciones (#15) in Mercedes and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Ferrocarril will play at home against Quilmes MP (#16) and hope to win that game. We should mention about the upset which took place in Concordia, where higher ranked Argentino (17-19) lost to fourteenth ranked Estudiantes C. (14-19) in a road game 76-92 on Monday. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Argentino. Jasiel Rivero fired 27 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. Estudiantes C. maintains fourteenth place with 14-19 record.

Very predictable result in Buenos Aires where eighth ranked Obras Basket (18-16) beat 19th ranked Ferrocarril (10-23) 85-80 on Saturday.

American forward Maurice Kemp (203-91, college: E.Carolina, agency: Duran International) fired 25 points and 6 rebounds for the winners.

Not a big story in a game in Concordia where 20th ranked Salta Basket (10-25) was defeated by fourteenth ranked Estudiantes C. (14-19) 74-59 on Saturday.
