Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked Brumas (11-4) on the court of fourth ranked Ingenieria on Sunday night. Visitors were defeated by Ingenieria 75-70. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of Brumas. Puerto Rican guard Jorge Sanabria (191-93) had a double-double by scoring 20 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists to lead the charge for the winners and forward Ronald Lawton chipped in 22 points and 7 rebounds during the contest. At the losing side American Timothy Simmons (195-92, college: DBU) responded with 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Brumas' coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Ingenieria maintains fourth position with 9-6 record. Brumas at the other side still keep top place with four games lost. They share the position with Real Esteli.
Seventh-ranked Leon (7-8) gave a tough game to second ranked Real Esteli (11-4). Real Esteli managed to secure only two-point victory 66-64. However their fans expected much easier game. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Leon. The former international power forward Jensen Campbell (198-98) notched a double-double by scoring 14 points and 15 rebounds to lead the effort and Lisvan Valdez supported him with 21 points and 5 rebounds. Real Esteli's coach allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. Even 27 points and 9 rebounds by Cuban Oreste Torres (204-87) did not help to save the game for Leon. Real Esteli used an opportunity after Brumas lost their game and moved up joining them at the top position. Leon at the other side keeps the seventh place with eight games lost.
