Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most interesting game was a derby match between two local teams from Asuncion: San Jose (#3) and Campo Alto (#7). Campo Alto was smashed at home by 16 points 63-79 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. San Jose made 16-of-17 free shots (94.1 percent) during the game. They also forced 19 Campo Alto turnovers. San Jose looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists comparing to just 7 passes made by Campo Alto's players. The former international guard Carlos Luis Vallejos (183-1992) scored 21 points to lead the charge for the winners and the former international forward Fernando Dose (200-1994) chipped in 17 points and 7 rebounds during the contest. San Jose's coach used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. At the losing side point guard Giuliano Girett (172-2001) responded with 17 points and 5 rebounds. San Jose have a solid three-game winning streak. They moved-up to second place, which they share with Colonias. Campo Alto lost third consecutive game. Newly promoted team keeps the seventh position with seven games lost.

Another interesting game was again a derby between two teams from Asuncion: Felix Perez (#4) and Ciudad N. (#8). Ciudad N. was smashed at home by 27 points 60-87 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. Anthony Strings notched a double-double by scoring 22 points and 14 rebounds to lead the effort and Dominique Morrison supported him with 30 points and 5 rebounds. Even 8 points and 18 rebounds by Carlos Lopez did not help to save the game for Ciudad N.. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Felix Perez (6-3) have an impressive five-game winning streak. They maintain fourth position. Ciudad N. lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the eighth place with eight games lost. Felix Perez will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game.
