IBL Round 7: Evos Bogor record their first victory

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Evos Bogor has finally registered their first victory this season after three consecutive losses. The win is especially important as they edged much higher ranked Bali Utd. (2-2) on the road game in Denpasar 69-68 on Saturday. It was a great evening for American forward Andre Jackson (199-1994, college: Bowie St., agency: Elevate Sports Alliance) who led his team to a victory scoring 18 points and 7 rebounds. Rheza Butarbutar (193-2000) helped adding 13 points and 8 rebounds. At the losing side American swingman Jay Bowie (196-1992, college: Marist, agency: Elevate Sports Alliance) responded with 18 points. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Evos Bogor (1-3) left bottom position moving up to eleventh place, which they share with Hangtuah and Indonesia P. Bali Utd. at the other side dropped to the seventh position with two games lost. They share it with WBS and Rans Pik. Evos Bogor is looking forward to face higher ranked Rans Pik (#8) in Gor Merpati in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Bali Utd. will have a break next round.
Bottom-ranked NSH (0-4) is still winless. But it was rather predictable considering how strong their opponent was. This time they could not use their home court advantage losing their fourth consecutive match to leader Bumi Borneo (4-0) 81-74. It was an exceptional evening for American point guard Randy Bell (193-1998, college: Dalton St.) who led the winners with a double-double by scoring 43 points (!!!), 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Julius Wongso accounted for 12 points and 9 rebounds. American point guard Shavar Newkirk (179-1996, college: St.Joseph's) came up with 16 points, 5 assists and 4 steals for NSH in the defeat. Both coaches tested many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Bumi Borneo have a solid series of four victories in a row. They keep a position of league leader, which they share with Satria Muda and Dewa United. NSH at the other side still closes the standings with four games lost. They share the position with Satya Wacana. Bumi Borneo will play against WBS (#9) in Jakarta in the next round and are hoping to win another game. NSH will have a break next round.
Bottom-ranked Satya Wacana (0-4) is still winless. But it was rather predictable considering how strong their opponent was. This time they could not use their home court advantage losing their fourth consecutive match to leader Satria Muda (4-0) 60-53 on Saturday evening. Elijah Foster fired a double-double by scoring 16 points and 12 rebounds for the winners. Satria Muda's coach Youbel Sondakh used an eleven-player rotation and allowed the starting five to rest. Shemar Johnson produced 25 points and 7 rebounds for lost side. Satria Muda have a solid series of four victories in a row. Defending champion keeps a position of league leader, which they share with Dewa United and Bumi Borneo. Loser Satya Wacana still closes the standings with four games lost. They share the position with NSH. Satria Muda will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Satya Wacana will play against Tangerang (#14) and hopes to get finally their first victory.

There were no shocking results in the rest of the games of round 7: WBS lost to undefeated Dewa United on the opponent's court 73-86. Hangtuah unfortunately lost to Rans Pik in a home game 77-87. Indonesia P. recorded a loss to Pelita Jaya on the road 66-78.
