Al-Tadamoun - Al-Semawah 94-83

Rather expected game in Najef where 11th ranked Al-Semawah (2-6) was defeated by eighth ranked Al-Tadamoun (4-4) 94-83 on Friday. Al-Tadamoun maintains eighth position with 4-4 record. Loser Al-Semawah keeps the eleventh place with six games lost. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.

Ghaz Al-Shamal - Nift Al-Shamal 91-77

Very predictable result in Kirku where fifth ranked Ghaz Al-Shamal (5-6) defeated bottom-ranked Nift Al-Shamal (1-8) 91-77 on Friday. Ghaz Al-Shamal have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain fifth position with 5-6 record. Nift Al-Shamal lost third consecutive game. They stay at the bottom place with eight games lost. Ghaz Al-Shamal are looking forward to face league's second-placed Zakho at home in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Nift Al-Shamal will play against Al-Jameaa (#6) and is hoping to prove to their fans that they can break losing series.
