Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Round 10 most important game was a victory of Espanol over their biggest opponent Valdivia 75-71 on Friday night. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of Valdivia. It was a key game for the second position in the league. Worth to mention a great performance of American forward JaHeim Hudson (201-2001, college: Auburn, agency: Keter Management) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 26 points and 12 rebounds (on 10-of-13 shooting from the field). U.S. Virgin Islands-American swingman Jahsean Corbett (198-2002, college: Duquesne, agency: Helping Ballers) contributed with 19 points and 6 rebounds for the winners. The former international Carlos Lauler (190-1996) replied with a double-double by scoring 18 points and 10 assists for Valdivia. Espanol have a solid four-game winning streak. They moved-up to second place, which they share with Puente Alto. Valdivia at the other side dropped to the third position with four games lost.
Seventh-ranked Ancud (2-8) used its home court advantage to challenge first ranked Las Animas (10-1). The visitors from Valdivia managed to secure only three-point victory 85-82. However their fans expected much easier game. American forward Ahmir Langlais (206-2001, college: Tennessee St.) had a double-double by scoring 17 points and 16 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and Fabian Martinez chipped in 9 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists during the contest.

They maintain first position with 10-1 record. Ancud lost sixth consecutive game. They dropped to the sixth place with eight games lost. They share the position with Univ.Catolica and Castro.
Seventh-ranked Espanol (1-9) was very close to win a game against fourth ranked Boston College (5-6) in Santiago on Friday. Boston College managed to secure only two-point victory 92-90. However their fans expected easier game. Adam Afifi notched a double-double by scoring 34 points (!!!) and 11 rebounds (made all of his ten free throws !!!) to lead the effort. Even 23 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists by Ramiro Montes did not help to save the game for Espanol. Boston College maintains fourth position with 5-6 record. Espanol lost eighth consecutive game.
