After 3 rounds played we can already see who rules in the LNB 2 and who belongs to weaker ones. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Round 3 most important game was a defeat of Sergio Ceppi (3-1). They were defeated by Stadio Italiano (2-2) 67-56 on Saturday night. Stadio Italiano made 21-of-27 free shots (77.8 percent) during the game. They also forced 21 Sergio Ceppi turnovers.

Swingman Francisco Pena (187) helped adding 11 points and 11 rebounds. The best for the losing side was power forward Boris Guerra (-1987) with a double-double by scoring 14 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Sergio Ceppi will play next round against Truenos trying to make it back to the top of the standings. Stadio Italiano will try to continue on its current victory against Aleman in Puerto Varas.
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of Quilpue (3-1) on the court of Luis Matte. Visitors were defeated by Luis Matte 80-76. It was an exceptional evening for Franco Garrido (181) who led the winners and scored 12 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Felipe Gonzalez accounted for 20 points.

Luis Matte will play against Arabe de Valp. in Valparaiso in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Quilpue will play at home against Boston College and hopes to get back on the winning track.
Quite upsetting was Stadio Italiano's home defeat in a game versus Quilpue 70-56. The best player for the winners was Hilario Sanchez who had a double-double by scoring 29 points and 11 rebounds. At the other side the best for losing team was Ramon Gatica who recorded 14 points and 6 rebounds. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest.
