The Regular Season in ABBA just started. Coincidentally all visitors won their games. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of Ottos at the home court on Sunday night. Hosts were defeated by Potters S. 72-65. Potters S. forced 33 Ottos turnovers and had a 42-29 advantage in offensive rebounds. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of Welsh point guard Jacob Lloyd (183-1994, college: Harris-Stowe St.) who helped to win the game recording 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Guard Cohen Desouza contributed with 13 points and 9 rebounds for the winners. Potters S.'s coach used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Guard Lincoln Weekes answered with 21 points for Ottos.
Another interesting game for Cutie Ovals which played on the court of Spanish Heat. Cutie Ovals crushed hosts 80-57. American guard Joshua Minner (198-1990, college: MACU) stepped up and scored 26 points and 6 rebounds for the winners and Alexis Jackson chipped in 10 points and 15 rebounds. At the losing side Kelvin Pimentel responded with a double-double by scoring 10 points and 11 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games.
