Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of Cimarrones (2-1) in Quibdo-Choco on Saturday night. Hosts were rolled over by fifth ranked Titanes (3-1) 109-65. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Cimarrones. It was a key game for the second position in the league. Titanes shot 62.9 percent from the field. They outrebounded Cimarrones 41-23 including a 33-16 advantage in defensive rebounds. Titanes looked well-organized offensively handing out 33 assists comparing to just 14 passes made by Cimarrones' players. Worth to mention a great performance of Panamanian Ernesto Oglivie (203-89) who helped to win the game recording 19 points and 6 rebounds (perfect from the field making all eight shots !!!) and the former international point guard Gianluca Bacci (182-89) who added 11 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists during the contest. At the losing side American Dominique Morrison (198-89, college: ORU, agency: Haylett Sports) responded with 20 points. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Titanes have a solid three-game winning streak.

DPB top team - Storm (4-0) had no problems winning another game. This time they crushed tenth ranked Condores (1-3) in Cundinamarca 80-53. The winners were led by international Michaell Jackson (190-87) who scored that evening 16 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists and Mariano Fierro supported him with 12 points and 5 rebounds. Even a double-double of 12 points and 11 rebounds by Dominican power forward Brayan Martinez (203-91) did not help to save the game for Condores. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Storm have a solid four-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 4-0 record. Newly promoted Condores dropped to the ninth place with three games lost. They share the position with Corsarios. Storm will play against Cafeteros (#4) in Armenia in the next round.

Richard Bautista fired 24 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists for the winners. Martavian Payne produced 20 points and 6 rebounds for lost side. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Motilones have a solid three-game winning streak.
