IBL Round 16: Indonesia P. keeps a leadership position

Here is the last round review presented by ESL.

The game had a very big importance for second-ranked Indonesia P. as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Indonesia P. smashed 9th ranked Satya Wacana in Jakarta 110-75. Indonesia P. forced 19 Satya Wacana turnovers and outrebounded them 42-28 including 28 on the defensive glass. Worth to mention a great performance of British V.Islands center Lester Prosper (210-88, college: Old Westbury) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 30 points and 18 rebounds. Naturalized American Brandon Jawato (193-93, college: Hawaii) contributed with 25 points and 5 rebounds for the winners. American swingman Chris Sterling (196-93, college: Ariz.Christian) replied with 25 points and 5 rebounds for Satya Wacana. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Indonesia P. (10-2) have an impressive five-game winning streak. As mentioned above they are alone now at the top position. Satya Wacana lost fourth consecutive game. They dropped to the bottom place with eight games lost. Satya Wacana will play next round against strong Pelita Jaya trying to get back on the winning streak. Indonesia P. will try to continue on its current victory against fifth ranked Louvre S. in Surabaya.
Bottom-ranked Prawira managed to get a third victory. This time they won against fifth-ranked Louvre S. in Bandung 79-72. Worth to mention a great performance of international point guard Arif Hidayat (184-91) who helped to win the game recording 19 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists and Glen Burns who added 16 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists during the contest. At the losing side American forward Savon Goodman (198, college: Shaw) responded with a double-double by scoring 29 points and 11 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Prawira (3-8) moved-up to eighth place. Louvre S. lost third consecutive game. Newly promoted team keeps the fifth position with six games lost. Prawira will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Louvre S. will play at home against the league's leader Indonesia P. (#1) having rather not much hope for a victory.
The game in Surabaya was also quite interesting. Third ranked NSH (9-3) played at the court of 6th ranked Pacific Caesar (4-7). NSH managed to secure a 7-point victory 82-75 on Friday. The winners were led by Dashaun Wiggins who scored that evening 30 points, 5 assists and 4 steals. Even a double-double of 24 points and 13 rebounds by Luis Jacobo did not help to save the game for Pacific Caesar. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. NSH maintains third position with 9-3 record behind leader Indonesia P. Pacific Caesar lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the sixth place with seven games lost. NSH will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Pacific Caesar will play against Bima Perkasa (#7) in Sakti and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
