NPBA Round 10 (Regular Season): Derby game ends with Sand Dollar's defeat of Zulu MM

Coincidentally all visitors won their games. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most interesting game was a derby match between two local teams from Nassau: Sand Dollar (#2) and Zulu MM (#6). Zulu MM was smashed at home by 35 points 73-108 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. Sand Dollar dominated down low during the game scoring 64 of its points in the paint compared to Zulu MM's 40. Sand Dollar looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of guard Van Hutchinson (193) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 25 points, 20 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals. Horris McKenzie contributed with 17 points and 5 assists (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field) for the winners. Sand Dollar's coach felt very confident that he used 10 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Bertrum Minns replied with a double-double by scoring 27 points and 13 rebounds for Zulu MM. Sand Dollar have a solid four-game winning streak. They maintain second position with 4-0 record behind leader Giants. Zulu MM lost fourth consecutive game. They dropped to the fifth place with five games lost. Sand Dollar's supporters look forward to another derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Nassau to the arena Giants.
Another interesting game was again a derby between two teams from Nassau: Zulu MM (#6) and Bahamas Univ. (#3). Bahamas Univ. was defeated at home 95-105 and even the advantage of their own court did not help.

At the losing side Gregory Cox responded with a double-double by scoring 24 points and 16 rebounds. Bahamas Univ.'s coach rotated eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Zulu MM (2-5) moved-up to fifth place. Bahamas Univ. at the other side keeps the third position with five games lost.
Another interesting game was again a derby match of two local teams from Nassau: Giants (#1) and Shockers (#5). Shockers were smashed at home by 33 points 79-112 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. Dylan Musgrove notched a double-double by scoring 27 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists to lead the effort. Even a double-double of 15 points and 16 rebounds by Tyrone Blyden did not help to save the game for Shockers. Undefeated Giants (7-0) have an impressive seven-game winning streak. They maintain first position with a perfect record of 7 victories in a row. Loser Shockers dropped to the sixth place with five games lost. Giants' supporters look forward to another derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Nassau Sand Dollar.
