La Liga Argentina Round 12 (Regular Season): Winless Salta Basket lose another game

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Bottom-ranked Salta Basket (0-7) is still winless. This time they could not use their home court advantage losing their seventh consecutive match to thirteenth ranked San Isidro (2-5) 70-61 on Monday evening. San Isidro outrebounded Salta Basket 44-28 including 35 on the defensive glass. Worth to mention a great performance of power forward Gian Sinconi (204-1994) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 16 points and 17 rebounds and American Christopher Hooper (198-1991, college: SFC) who added 14 points and 9 rebounds during the contest. The best for the losing side was forward Lucas Gallardo (199-2001) with 21 points and 9 rebounds. Salta Basket's coach Ricardo De Cecco rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. San Isidro moved-up to twelfth place. Salta Basket at the other side still closes the standings with seven games lost. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
Important game to mention about took place in Santa Fe. Tenth ranked Colon (3-3) saved a 2-point victory at home edging higher ranked Barrio Parque (6-4) 92-90 on Monday evening. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Barrio Parque. The winners were led by Ecuadorian center Jordan Cardenas (206-1998, college: FNU) who scored that evening 18 points and 9 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) and Nicolas Bravo supported him with 15 points and 5 rebounds. Even 24 points and 5 rebounds by point guard Nahuel Buchaillot (178-2000) did not help to save the game for Barrio Parque. Barrio Parque's coach Esteban Pierdominici tested ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Colon moved-up to ninth place. Barrio Parque at the other side dropped to the fifth position with four games lost. Colon will play against higher ranked Suardi (#3) on the road in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Barrio Parque will have a break next round.
A very close game took place in Mar del Plata between Quilmes MP and Provincial. Fourteenth ranked Quilmes MP (4-5) got a very close home victory over 12th ranked Provincial (4-6). Quilmes MP managed to escape with a 2-point win 71-69 on Monday evening. The best player for the winners was Agustin Ecker who had a double-double by scoring 15 points and 11 rebounds. At the other side the best for losing team was Gaston Gerbaudo who recorded 12 points. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Quilmes MP moved-up to tenth place, which they share with Pergamino and Villa Mitre. Provincial lost third consecutive game. Newly promoted team dropped to the thirteenth position with six games lost. Quilmes MP will meet at home Rocamora (#15) in the next round where they are favorite. Provincial will play against U.Mar del Plata and hope to secure a win.
