LDB Round 15 (Regular Season): Pato hands first loss to Sao Jose

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most surprising game was the first loss of Sao Jose (9-1) at the home court on Friday night. Hosts were rolled over by tenth ranked Pato (7-3) 96-66. It ended at the same time the nine-game winning streak of Sao Jose. Pato looked well-organized offensively handing out 30 assists comparing to just 15 passes made by Sao Jose's players. It was a good game for forward Gustavo Ribeiro (199-2005) who led his team to a victory with 17 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Guard Thaylor Fagundes (190-2006) contributed with 17 points and 6 assists for the winners. Pato's coach felt very confident that he used 10 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Guard Henrique Soto (190) answered with 18 points and 6 rebounds for Sao Jose. Pato moved-up to eighth place, which they share with Rio Claro. Sao Jose at the other side keeps the second position with one game lost. They share it with Corinthians and Pinheiros. Pato is looking forward to face higher ranked SESI Franca (#7) in Sao Paulo in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Sao Jose will play on the road against the league's leader Paulistano (#1) where they are definitely not considered as a favorite in this game either.
Another exciting game was a derby match between two teams from Sao Paulo: Corinthians (#6) and Rio Claro (#8).

It was a quality performance for Lucas Avanso who led the winners and scored 14 points and 5 assists. Gabriel Garcia came up with 19 points and 7 rebounds for Uniao Corinthians in the defeat.
