The most exciting game of round 10 in the BSN took place in San German. This derby game ended with only two-point defeat on the road of one of their biggest challengers Leones (3-7) to fifth ranked Atleticos (4-7) 86-84 in the game for the fourth place. San German made 18-of-23 free shots (78.3 percent) during the game. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when San German made 7 blocks. Guard Andre Curbelo (183-2001, college: Southern Miss) scored 22 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists to lead the charge for the winners and New Zealand forward Sam Mennenga (206-2001, college: Davidson) chipped in 18 points and 5 rebounds during the contest. At the losing side the former international guard Jezreel De Jesus (185-1991, agency: Interperformances) responded with 20 points and 6 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game.

Important game to mention about took place in Aguada. Sixth ranked Santeros (2-8) saved a 3-point victory at home edging 3rd ranked Piratas (6-7) 92-89 on Monday evening. Australian guard Nathan Sobey (190-1990, college: Wyoming) notched 26 points to lead the effort and Ivan Gandia-Rosa supported him with 25 points (made all of his eight free throws). Even 20 points and 5 assists by DR Congolese guard Emmanuel Mudiay (196-1996) did not help to save the game for Quebradillas. Piratas' coach tried various players' combinations and tested in total eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Aguada maintains sixth position with 2-8 record, which they share with Manati. Quebradillas lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the third place with seven games lost.
