Liga Wplay Round 4 (Regular Season): Carrib.Storm lose to Motilones in the game between Top 4 teams

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Very significant was Motilones' (#1, 7-1) victory against 3rd ranked Storm (3-3) 72-58. Motilones had a 36-25 advantage in offensive rebounds. It was a great shooting night for Motilones especially from behind the arc, where they had solid 62.5 percentage. Worth to mention a great performance of Dominican power forward Juan Rosario (203-1999, agency: BMS Sport Agency) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 22 points and 10 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) and Dominican point guard Jaison Valdez (188-1995, agency: BMS Sport Agency) who added 18 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists during the contest. At the losing side the former international guard Romario Roque (175-1998) responded with 17 points and 5 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Motilones have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 7-1 record. Carrib.Storm at the other side dropped to the fourth place with three games lost. They share the position with Piratas.
Very significant was Toros' (#3, 4-2) victory against their biggest opponent Paisas (4-4) 81-60. The winners were led by Panamanian Josimar Ayarza (205-1987, college: Southern Miss) who scored that evening 12 points and 6 rebounds and Cristian Solis supported him with 9 points and 10 rebounds. Even 15 points and 9 rebounds by American Anthony January (204-1993, college: CSUSB) did not help to save the game for Paisas. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Toros have a solid four-game winning streak. Toros Del Valle (4-2) moved-up to second place. Paisas at the other side dropped to the third position with four games lost.

Paisas - Sabios 92-70

Very expected game in Medellin where bottom-ranked Sabios (0-5) were crushed by second ranked Paisas (4-4) 92-70 on Wednesday. Paisas looked well-organized offensively handing out 25 assists comparing to just 7 passes made by Sabios' players.

American guard Alante Fenner (196-1993, college: SSU) chipped in 10 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 steals. Four Paisas players scored in double figures. American-Puerto Rican swingman Jordan Glover (198-1996, college: TCNJ, agency: SLN) produced 30 points and 6 rebounds and Jesus Diaz added 9 points and 12 rebounds respectively 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. Despite that victory Paisas went down to third position due to points difference. Loser Sabios still closes the standings with five games lost.
