Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of Pinheiros (1-1) in Sao Paulo on Sunday night. Hosts were defeated by Osasco (2-1) 87-78. Osasco 2 made 20-of-25 free shots (80.0 percent) during the game. 24 personal fouls committed by Pinheiros 2 helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a good game for guard Dalaqua Almentra (183-2000) who led his team to a victory with 19 points and 5 assists (went 10 for 10 at the free throw line !!!). Power forward Tarek Santana (205-2001) contributed with 21 points and 5 rebounds for the winners. Lucca Marcato (-2007) answered with 15 points and 5 assists for Pinheiros 2. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Osasco is looking forward to face Vitoria (#5) in Salvador in the next round. Pinheiros will play on the road against Cruzeiro and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Sorocabana 2 (3-0) added another victory to their record. This time they beat Vitoria (0-2) in Salvador 62-55.

The best for the losing side was center Gabriel Mendes (206-1996) with 9 points and 16 rebounds. Sorocabana 2 will play against Pinheiros 2 (#4) in Sao Paulo in the next round. Vitoria will play at home against Osasco 2 and hopes to get finally their first victory.
The game in Belo Horizonte was also quite interesting. Cruzeiro (2-1) played at the court of Minas (0-3). Cruzeiro defeated Minas 90-74 on Tuesday.
