Second best performed player last round was Rodney Mercado (191-SF-1999) of Libertad A.. He is international in his first season at Libertad A.. In the last game Mercado recorded impressive 25 points and 6 rebounds. Bad luck as Libertad A. lost that game 79-87 to league's leader San Jose (#1, 12-0). Libertad A. managed to keep the same 5th spot in the standings. His team lost some distance to top teams. But 6-6 record is not bad and everything may still change.
