Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Sixth-ranked Brujos (3-8) used its home court advantage to challenge second ranked Piratas (9-4) in Guayama on Wednesday. The visitors from Quebradillas managed to secure only three-point victory 72-69. However their fans expected much easier game. American forward Jamil Wilson (201-1990, college: Marquette) orchestrated the victory by scoring 23 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. The former international forward Carlos Emory (196-1991) contributed with 17 points and 5 rebounds for the winners. American guard Terrico White (196-1990, college: Ole Miss) answered with 13 points and 8 rebounds for Brujos. Brujos' coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Piratas keep a position of league leader. Brujos at the other side keep the sixth place with eight games lost. Piratas are looking forward to face league's second-placed Leones in Juana Diaz in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Brujos will play on the road against Indios (#5) in Mayaguez and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Very important is a road loss of third ranked Cangrejeros (6-7) against sixth ranked Gigantes (2-7) on Tuesday night. Visiting Cangrejeros were crushed by Gigantes in Carolina 105-82. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Cangrejeros. It was a great evening for Nigerian power forward Alade Aminu (207-87, college: Georgia Tech) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 22 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists. Sheldon McClellan helped adding 30 points and 5 rebounds. Mali power forward Cheick Diallo (206-1996, college: Kansas) responded with a double-double by scoring 14 points and 10 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Gigantes maintains sixth place with 2-7 record. Cangrejeros at the other side keep the third position with seven games lost. Gigantes will again play against higher ranked Cangrejeros (#3) in Santurce in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Cangrejeros will play on the road against the league's second-placed Leones in Juana Diaz and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
An interesting game for Leones (8-4) which hosted in Juana Diaz their close opponent Piratas (9-4). Second ranked Leones had an easy win 114-69.
