The Regular Season in IBL is slowly approaching the end. But there may be still some important changes in the final standings in the last 4 rounds. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Ninth-ranked Tangerang (12-16) made lots of trouble for sixth ranked Bima Perkasa (18-11) in Sakti on Monday. Bima Perkasa managed to secure only one-point victory 63-62. However their fans expected easier game. American Cameron Coleman (198-1992, college: York, NE, agency: Elevate Sports Alliance) fired 10 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners.

Jamaican-American center Anthony Allen (210-1992, college: OK State) produced a double-double by scoring 11 points, 20 rebounds and 5 blocks for lost side. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Bima Perkasa maintains sixth place with 18-11 record. Tangerang at the other side keeps the ninth position with 16 games lost. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
We should mention about the upset which took place in Jakarta, where 9th ranked Indonesia P. (12-17) lost at home to twelfth ranked Evos Bogor (10-18) 59-72.

Padre Hosbach contributed with 6 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. International Dame Diagne (197-2005) answered with a double-double by scoring 25 points and 15 rebounds for Indonesia P.Both coaches tested many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Evos Bogor have a solid series of four victories in a row. They maintain twelfth place with 10-18 record. Indonesia P. lost third consecutive game. They dropped to the tenth position with 17 games lost. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
The game with biggest result difference took place in Jakarta. Local NSH (6-23) was outscored by eighth ranked Bali Utd. (14-15) 93-60 on Monday night. Dior Lowhorn stepped up with a double-double by scoring 24 points and 10 rebounds for the winners. At the losing side Jarrid Famous responded with 20 points and 9 rebounds.

Bali Utd. have an impressive series of five victories in a row. They maintain eighth place with 14-15 record. NSH lost third consecutive game. They keep the fourteenth position with 23 games lost.
