Haylen Washington

Host teams show no mercy winning all games. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Second defeat of league's leader CAN Oruro (4-2) against fifth ranked Univ.Sucre (4-2) 89-60 was the most important game of the last round. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of CAN Oruro. It was a key game for the top position in the league. 26 personal fouls committed by CAN Oruro helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Worth to mention a great performance of American guard Haylen Washington (196-1994, college: Co.Georgia) who helped to win the game recording 24 points and 9 rebounds. Juan Calvo (186-1999) contributed with 18 points for the winners. American swingman Deondre Wade (193, college: Seminole St.) answered with a double-double by scoring 22 points and 12 rebounds for CAN Oruro. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Univ.Sucre keeps a position of league leader, which they share with 4 other teams including defeated CAN Oruro. CAN Oruro will play next round against league's leader Pichincha trying to make it back to the top of the standings. Univ.Sucre will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game.

Other games in round 7 were not that significant. San Simon was beaten by Atletico Nacional on the road 84-72. Saracho won against La Paz on its own court 83-77. Carl A-Z unfortunately lost to Calero in Potosi 66-77.

Atletico Nacional - San Simon 84-72

No shocking result in a game when third ranked Atletico Nacional (4-2) beat 6th ranked San Simon (2-4) in Potosi 84-72 on Tuesday.
