IBL Round 14: Satya Wacana record their first victory

IBL is at the halfway of the Regular Season and there are still another 14 rounds left. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Satya Wacana has finally registered their first victory this season after seven consecutive losses. They used home court advantage to defeat Evos Bogor (1-7) 65-50 on Saturday. They outrebounded Evos Bogor 43-30 including 30 on the defensive glass. American forward Shemar Johnson (204-1996, college: Stillman) scored 24 points and 7 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and the other American import swingman Mervyn Lindsay (201-1993, college: TxWes) chipped in 13 points and 9 rebounds during the contest. American-Jamaican center David Haye (183-1994, college: SUNY Delhi) responded with 14 points. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Satya Wacana left bottom position moving up to fifteenth place, which they share with defeated Evos Bogor. It was Evos Bogor's fourth loss in a row. Satya Wacana is looking forward to face higher ranked NSH (#13) in Jakarta in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Evos Bogor will play on the road against Prawira and will have a slim chance for a victory.
IBL top team - Satria Muda (8-0) managed to deliver another win. This time they beat fifth ranked Bima Perkasa (5-2) in Sakti 67-56. American forward Elijah Foster (197-1996, college: Nevada) notched a double-double by scoring 17 points and 13 rebounds to lead the effort and Arki Wisnu supported him with 11 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Even 12 points by American Cameron Coleman (198-1992, college: York, NE, agency: Elevate Sports Alliance) did not help to save the game for Bima Perkasa. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Undefeated Satria Muda have an impressive eight-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains first position with 8-0 record. Bima Perkasa at the other side keeps the fifth place with two games lost. They share the position with Rans Pik. Satria Muda's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Jakarta Pelita Jaya.
The game in Pontianak supposed to be also quite interesting. Fifth ranked Prawira (6-1) played at the court of 6th ranked Bumi Borneo (5-3). Prawira smashed Bumi Borneo 98-76 on Friday. The best player for the winners was Brandone Francis who scored 23 points and 5 rebounds. Randy Bell produced a double-double by scoring 32 points and 10 rebounds for the hosts. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Prawira have an impressive five-game winning streak. They moved-up to third place, which they share with Pelita Jaya. Loser Bumi Borneo dropped to the seventh position with three games lost. Prawira will meet at home Evos Bogor (#15) in the next round which should be another easy win for them. Bumi Borneo will have a break next round.

There were no shocking results in the other games in round 14: Dewa United destroyed Tangerang on the opponent's court 87-66. Hangtuah unfortunately lost to Indonesia P. in a home game 80-87. Pacific Caesar recorded a loss to Bali Utd. on the road 72-80.

They maintain second position with 7-1 record behind leader Satria Muda. Loser Tangerang dropped to the eleventh place with five games lost.
