NBL Round 16: Wuhan defeat Luoyang

Here is the last round review presented by ESL.

The most surprising game was a loss of top-ranked Luoyang (1-7) on the court of fifth ranked Wuhan on Monday night. Visitors were rolled over by Wuhan 120-98. Wuhan (6-2) moved-up to fourth place, which they share with Hunan. Luoyang at the other side still keeps top position with seven games lost. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
Very important is a road loss of first ranked Xinjiang (2-6) against seventh ranked Henan (4-4) on Monday night. Visiting Xinjiang was defeated by Henan in a tough game in Henan 96-104. Henan maintains seventh position with 4-4 record. Xinjiang at the other side still keeps top place with six games lost. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
An interesting game for Guangxi (8-0) which played road game in Yannan against their biggest opponent Jiangsu YS (0-7). Top-ranked Guangxi had an easy win 109-75. Undefeated Guangxi have an impressive eight-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 8-0 record. Newly promoted Jiangsu YS still closes the standings with seven games lost. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.

In the last game of round 16 Anhui P. was beaten by Hebei on the road 92-87.

Hebei - Anhui P. 92-87

There was a small surprise when tenth ranked Hebei (3-5) beat at home 8th ranked Anhui P. (3-5) 92-87 on Monday. Hebei moved-up to eighth place, which they share with Anhui P. and Chongqing. Hebei will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Anhui P. will play against the league's second-placed Shaanxi (#2) having rather not much hope for a victory.
