Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.

Fifth defeat of league's leader Real Esteli (10-5) against second ranked Tipitapa (11-4) 89-88 was the most important game of the last round. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of Real Esteli. It was a key game for the top position in the league. 25 personal fouls committed by Real Esteli helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Worth to mention a great performance of forward Clenia Salazar (-1987) who helped to win the game recording 42 points (!!!) and 8 rebounds.

Very important is a road loss of third ranked Jaguares (9-6) against fourth ranked Leonas (5-11) on Sunday night. Visiting Jaguares were defeated by Leonas in a tough game on the road 62-70. Worth to mention a great performance of American guard Jocelyn Taylor (183-1997, college: SEMO) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 17 points and 10 rebounds and Jessica Martino who added 11 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists during the contest.
