Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Eighth-ranked Rocamora (0-4) used its home court advantage to challenge second ranked El Talar (5-1) on Monday. The visitors from Buenos Aires managed to secure only three-point victory 76-73. However their fans expected much easier game. Guard Matias Cueva (185-1997) orchestrated the victory by scoring 15 points and 7 rebounds. Center Federico Glinberg (201-1990) contributed with 15 points and 7 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) for the winners. El Talar's coach Leandro Genovese used an eleven-player rotation in such tough game. Juan Krapp replied with a double-double by scoring 19 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists for Rocamora. El Talar have an impressive five-game winning streak. They keep a position of league leader, which they share with Independiente. Rocamora at the other side still closes the standings with four games lost. They share the position with 4 other teams. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
Important game to mention about took place in Rosario. Fourth ranked San Isidro (3-1) saved a 3-point victory on the road edging bottom-ranked Provincial (0-4) 80-77 on Monday evening. Worth to mention a great performance of point guard Nahuel Buchaillot (178-2000) who helped to win the game recording 18 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists and Julian Eydallin who added 22 points during the contest. The former international swingman Adrian Boccia (195-1982) responded with 17 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Provincial's coach Ivan Acosta rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. San Isidro moved-up to third place, which they share with GELP and Comunicaciones. Provincial at the other side still closes the standings with four games lost. They share the position with 4 other teams. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
Bottom-ranked Salta Basket is still unable to win any game. But it was rather predictable considering how strong their opponent was.

The winners were led by Nicolas Garcia who scored that evening 13 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.
