Libobasquet Round 3 of Regular Season

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Round 3 most important game was a victory of La Paz over Calero 90-87 on Saturday night. It was a good game for American guard Irin Stark (185-1989, college: STAC) who led his team to a victory with 31 points and 8 rebounds. Claudio Gonzales (193-2004) contributed with 30 points and 9 rebounds for the winners. Brazilian Felipe De Paula (202-1991) answered with a double-double by scoring 20 points and 19 rebounds for Calero. Calero's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help.
The game in La Paz was also worth to mention about. Atletico Nacional (2-1) played at the court of La Paz (2-2). Atletico Nacional defeated La Paz 81-69. It was a great evening for the former international forward Cristhian Camargo (194-1992) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 23 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. DMonta Harris helped adding 23 points and 6 rebounds. Atletico Nacional's coach Enrique Lancelotti allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. The best for the losing side was American guard Irin Stark (185-1989, college: STAC) with a double-double by scoring 23 points and 13 rebounds.
The game in Sucre was also quite interesting. Leones (1-2) played at the court of Univ.Sucre (2-1). Univ.Sucre did not have too big problems and got a relatively easy victory 83-66 on Saturday. It was an exceptional evening for Haylen Washington who led the winners and scored 27 points and 8 rebounds. Spencer Collins came up with 26 points for Leones in the defeat. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Univ.Sucre will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Leones will play against Saracho (#1) in Oruro and hope to win that game.

In the last game of round 3 bottom-ranked Carl A-Z beat Pichincha on the road 65-62.
