Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The game between Top Four teams took place in Managua. Top-ranked host Jaguares (5-0) defeated 3rd ranked Brumas (3-2) 94-90. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Jaguares made 7 blocks. Worth to mention a great performance of American Timothy Simmons (195-1992, college: DBU) who helped to win the game recording 33 points (!!!), 6 rebounds and 5 assists and the other American import Joel Kindred (193-1991, college: St.Augustine) who added 26 points and 9 rebounds during the contest. At the losing side Cuban center Marvin Cairo (203-1991) responded with 27 points and 8 rebounds. Undefeated Jaguares have an impressive five-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 5-0 record. Brumas at the other side dropped to the fourth place with two games lost.
Occidentales has registered their first victory this season after three consecutive losses. They used home court advantage to defeat Rivas (0-4) 93-91. The winners were led by guard Deikel Sanchez who had that evening a double-double by scoring 33 points (!!!) and 15 rebounds and Roberto Nieves supported him with 27 points and 6 assists. Even 35 points (!!!), 5 rebounds and 4 assists (on 17-of-22 shooting from the field) by American forward Telvin Gabriel (198-1994, college: Lander) did not help to save the game for Rivas. Occidentales (1-3) left bottom position moving up to eighth place. It was Rivas' fourth loss in a row. They still close the standings with four games lost.
