LNB Round 12 of Regular Season

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

We should mention about the upset which took place in Talca, where higher ranked Valdivia (5-6) lost to eleventh ranked Espanol T. (4-5) in a road game 69-81 on Sunday. Espanol T. outrebounded Valdivia 44-33 including 30 on the defensive glass. The best player for the winners was American forward Davon Haynes (203-1991, college: UAPB) who had a double-double by scoring 25 points and 14 rebounds. Canadian forward Kaleb Vaughn (198, college: Lake Erie) chipped in 20 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. At the other side the best for losing team was Fabian Martinez (194-2000) who recorded 20 points and 6 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Espanol T. moved-up to tenth place. Valdivia lost fourth consecutive game. They dropped to the eighth position with six games lost. Espanol T. will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Valdivia will play at home against the league's leader Los Leones (#1) where they are definitely not considered as a favorite in this game either.
The game with biggest result difference took place in Concepcion. Local Concepcion (8-0) outscored 6th ranked Quilicura (5-5) 94-61. It was a good game for Venezuelan Carlos Milano (198) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 14 points and 12 rebounds. Jerry Evans contributed with 13 points and 12 rebounds for the winners. American forward Chris Perry (203-1994, college: LMU) replied with a double-double by scoring 18 points and 14 rebounds for Quilicura. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Undefeated Concepcion have an impressive eight-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains second position with 8-0 record behind leader Los Leones. Quilicura at the other side dropped to the seventh place with five games lost. Concepcion will play against Puerto Montt (#12) on the road in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Quilicura will play against Las Animas (#6) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
