Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Very significant was Paisas' (#3, 3-0) victory against Storm (3-2) 65-61. It was a great evening for the former international Soren De Luque (200-1998) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 11 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists. American guard Ty-Shon Alexander (193-1998, college: Creighton) helped adding 13 points and 10 rebounds. The best for the losing side was the former international forward Romario Roque (180-1998) with 29 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Paisas are looking forward to face Carrib.Storm (#3) in San Andres Island in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Storm will have a break next round.
Toros (4-0) had no problems winning another game. This time they crushed Cimarrones (0-4) in Cali 118-85. It was a quality performance for American guard Terry Armstrong (200-2000, college: Arizona) who led the winners and scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field). Davin Evans accounted for 20 points and 9 rebounds. Dominican guard Carlos Carela (185-2000) came up with 22 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists for Cimarrones in the defeat. 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 will play against Motilones (#6) in Cucuta in the next round which should be theoretically another easy game. Cimarrones will play at home against Sabios and hope to get finally their first victory.
Toros (4-0) had no problems winning another game on Friday. This time they crushed Cimarrones (0-4) in Cali 76-45. The best player for the winners was Miguel Ramos who scored 16 points and 4 assists.
