Liga Basquet Pro Round 13 (Regular Season): Leones lose their first game against Guerreros MC

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most surprising game was the first loss of Leones (11-1) in Santo Domingo on Tuesday night. Visitors were defeated by ninth ranked Guerreros MC (4-8) 90-79. It ended at the same time the 11-game winning streak of Leones. Guerreros MC maintains ninth place with 4-8 record, which they share with Cuenca BC. Defending champion Leones still keep top position with one game lost. Guerreros MC is looking forward to face higher ranked San Antonio G. (#7) in Machala in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Leones will play at home against CyC Manabi (#12) and are hoping to win this game.
Very important is a road loss of third ranked IMP Alvarado (8-4) against eighth ranked Barcelona (6-6) on Tuesday night. Visiting IMP Alvarado was defeated by Barcelona in Guayaquil 91-81. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of IMP Alvarado. Barcelona have a solid series of three victories in a row. They moved-up to sixth place. IMP Alvarado at the other side dropped to the fourth position with four games lost. Barcelona will play against higher ranked Piratas (#5) in Ibarra in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. IMP Alvarado will play at home against the league's second-placed J.Guzman and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Tenth ranked Cuenca BC (4-8) crushed at home 8th ranked Spartans (5-7) by 19 points 99-80, which is the biggest margin this round on Wednesday night.
