Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.
The biggest surprise took place in Buenos Aires where host Argentinian Obras (2-0) crushed league's leader Uruguayan Aguada (1-1) 81-52 on Friday evening. It was a key game for the top position in the league. Obras held Aguada to an opponent 25.0 percent shooting from the field compared to 45.5 percent accuracy of the winners. Obras forced 19 Aguada turnovers and outrebounded them 54-31 including a 36-16 advantage in defensive rebounds. 27 personal fouls committed by Aguada helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. The best player for the winners was Candela Gentinetta (181-2001) who had a double-double by scoring 17 points, 15 rebounds and 6 assists. Guard Valeria Fernandez (165-1998) chipped in 11 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. Argentinian Agustina Marin (170-2003) produced 23 points and 5 rebounds for the guests. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Obras keep a position of league leader. Aguada at the other side dropped to the second place with one game lost. They share the position with Club de Tenis. They were replaced at the leadership position by Obras. Aguada will play next round against strong Club de Tenis trying to make it back to the top of the standings. Obras will try to continue on its current victory against fourth ranked Caldas in Manizales.
Very important is a road loss of third ranked Colombian Caldas (0-2) against fourth ranked Bolivian Club de Tenis (1-1) on Friday night. Visiting Caldas were defeated by Club de Tenis in 76-66. It was a key game for the second position in the league. Argentinian center Diana Cabrera (186-1993) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 19 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. Nija Collier contributed with 14 points and 14 rebounds for the winners. Center Libia De la Rosa (185-1992) answered with a double-double by scoring 24 points and 10 rebounds for Caldas. Caldas' coach rotated eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Defending Bolivian champion left bottom position moving up to second place, which they share with Aguada. Newly promoted Caldas still closes the standings with two games lost. Club de Tenis will play against league's second-placed Aguada on the road in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Caldas will play against the league's leader Obras in Buenos Aires and hope to get finally their first victory.
