Host teams show no mercy winning all games. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Round 10 most important game was a defeat of league's leader Caneros (9-5). They were defeated by second ranked Reales (10-4) 105-97 on Saturday night. It was a key game for the top position in the league. Reales shot 62.7 percent from the field. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. 24 personal fouls committed by Caneros helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American point guard Quade Green (183-1998, college: Washington) scored 26 points and 6 assists to lead the charge for the winners and the other American import guard Nahziah Carter (198-1999, college: Washington, agency: BMS Sport Agency) chipped in 24 points and 4 assists (on 11-of-14 shooting from the field) during the contest. At the losing side Yeison Colome (190-1996, agency: BMS Sport Agency) responded with 26 points and 4 assists. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Defending champion keeps a position of league leader. Caneros at the other side dropped to the third place with five games lost. They were replaced at the leadership position by Reales.
Very important is a road loss of second ranked Reales (10-4) against fourth ranked Indios (9-6) on Friday night. Visiting Reales were defeated by Indios in San Francisco 93-75. Luismal Ferreiras (200-2003, agency: BMS Sport Agency) notched a double-double by scoring 33 points (!!!) and 13 rebounds (made all of his eight free throws) to lead the effort and Eddy Polanco supported him with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. Even 18 points and 6 rebounds by American point guard Michael Warren (183, college: Franklin Pierce) did not help to save the game for Reales. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Indios have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain fourth position with 9-6 record. Defending champion Reales still keep top place with four games lost.
Sixth ranked Metros (8-8) crushed at home 7th ranked Soles (3-11) by 40 points 119-79, which is the biggest margin this round on Sunday night. Eloy Vargas fired 15 points and 9 rebounds for the winners. Darwin Cabrera produced 10 points and 6 rebounds for lost side. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Metros moved-up to fifth place.
