There will be only one (last) round of the Regular Season in ABBA. Host teams show no mercy winning all games. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The game had a very big importance for second-ranked Cutie Ovals as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Cutie Ovals smashed 7th ranked Slam at home 127-80. Cutie Ovals forced 32 Slam turnovers and outrebounded them 69-38 including a 36-8 advantage in offensive rebounds.

Jayleyle Joseph fired a double-double by scoring 21 points and 20 rebounds for the winners. American guard Jabiri Smith (198, college: Shorter) chipped in 23 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Cutie Ovals' coach felt very confident that he used 10 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Bahamas swingman Rolontae Knowles (193-2001, college: Spring Hill, agency: Daggers Sports) produced 30 points and 8 rebounds (made all of his eight free throws) for lost side. As mentioned above they are at the top of the standings, which they share with Ottos. Slam lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the seventh place with six games lost. Slam will have a break next week, which should allow them to rest in order to get back on the winning path. Cutie Ovals will try to continue on its current victory against third ranked Flyers on the road.
Second ranked Ottos blasted bottom-ranked Navigators (0-6) in 96-57. Navigators is still unable to win any game. Worth to mention a great performance of American guard Nick Strawter (193-1997, college: St.Thomas, FL) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 27 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists. Pindo Drammeh contributed with 20 points and 12 rebounds for the winners. Guard Michael Barton answered with a double-double by scoring 12 points and 25 rebounds for Navigators. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Ottos (5-1) keep a position of league leader, which they share with Cutie Ovals. Navigators at the other side still closes the standings with six games lost.
