LNB Round 10 of Regular Season

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

The game in Valdivia supposed to be quite interesting. Top-ranked Concepcion (6-0) played at the court of 8th ranked Las Animas (4-5). Concepcion smashed Las Animas 105-83 on Sunday. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Las Animas. Naturalized Panamanian point guard Eugenio Luzcando (190-1995, college: Idaho St.) scored 21 points and 5 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and the former international point guard Sebastian Carrasco (180-2000) chipped in 19 points and 5 assists during the contest. Concepcion's coach Cipriano Nunez felt very confident that he used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. At the losing side American-Dominican center Justin Satchell (203-1995, college: St.Leo) responded with a double-double by scoring 31 points and 10 rebounds. Undefeated Concepcion have an impressive six-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains third position with 6-0 record behind leader Los Leones. Las Animas at the other side dropped to the tenth place with five games lost. Concepcion are looking forward to face Puente Alto (#4) at home in the next round. Las Animas will play against Puerto Montt (#12) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.

In the last two games of round 10 Quilicura won against Puerto Varas on the opponent's court 96-90. Puerto Montt unfortunately lost to Puente Alto in a home game 68-83.
