IBL Round 16: Tangerang defeat Satya Wacana in the closest game of the week

The games are now more important than at the beginning of the Regular Season. We may still expect few shocking results in upcoming 3 rounds. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most exciting game of round 16 in the IBL took place in Salatiga. This derby game ended with only one-point home defeat of 6th ranked Satya Wacana (5-13) to seventh ranked Tangerang (5-14) 72-71 on Wednesday evening. Worth to mention a great performance of American Richard Ross (198-1992, college: ODU) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 19 points and 14 rebounds and the former international Rizky Effendy (184-1988) who added 21 points and 7 assists during the contest. At the losing side American forward Tyree Robinson (196, college: A&M-Commerce) responded with a double-double by scoring 26 points and 10 rebounds. Satya Wacana's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Tangerang maintains seventh position with 5-14 record. Satya Wacana at the other side keeps the sixth place with 13 games lost. Tangerang are looking forward to face higher ranked Indonesia P. (#5) in Jakarta in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Satya Wacana will play at home against the league's leader Satria Muda having rather not much hope for a victory.
Important game to mention about took place in Surabaya. Fifth ranked Indonesia P. (6-12) saved a 2-point victory on the road edging 3rd ranked Pacific Caesar (8-10) 68-66 on Wednesday evening. The winners were led by Dame Diagne (197) who had that evening a double-double by scoring 13 points and 18 rebounds and Julian Chalias supported him with 22 points and 7 rebounds (on 10-of-12 shooting from the field). Even 15 points and 6 rebounds by American Akeem Ellis (196-1990, college: Coppin St., agency: BIG) did not help to save the game for Pacific Caesar. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Indonesia P. maintains fifth position with 6-12 record. Pacific Caesar at the other side keeps the third place with ten games lost. They share the position with Bumi Borneo. Indonesia P. will play against Tangerang (#7) in the next round. Pacific Caesar will play against Bima Perkasa (#8) and hopes to get back on the winning track.
Another interesting game was a derby match between two local teams from Jakarta: Pelita Jaya (#1) and Hangtuah (#5). Pelita Jaya (16-2) won against visiting Hangtuah (10-9) 79-64.

Loser Hangtuah keeps the fifth place with nine games lost. They share the position with Rans Pik. Pelita Jaya will meet at home Evos Bogor (#8) in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Hangtuah will have a break next round.
