Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most exciting game was a derby match between two local teams from Baghdad: Al Naft (#1) and Al-Hashd (#4). Al-Hashd was defeated at home 77-82 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. Undefeated Al Naft (18-0) have an impressive series of eighteen victories in a row. Defending champion maintains first place with a perfect record of 18 victories in a row. Al-Hashd at the other side dropped to the fifth position with eight games lost.
Another exciting game was again a derby between two teams from Baghdad: Al Naft (#1) and Al Shorta (#3). Al Naft (18-0) crushed visiting Al Shorta (10-6) by 25 points 80-55. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Al Shorta. The victory was the eighteenth consecutive win for Al Naft. Defending champion maintains first place with 18-0 record. Al Shorta at the other side keeps the third position with six games lost.
The game in Kirku supposed to be also quite interesting. Second ranked Al-Jameaa (12-5) played at the court of 8th ranked Ghaz Al-Shamal (8-10). Al-Jameaa smashed Ghaz Al-Shamal 104-82 on Monday. The victory was the eighth consecutive win for Al-Jameaa. They maintain second place with 12-5 record having seven points less than leader Al Naft. Loser Ghaz Al-Shamal keeps the eighth position with ten games lost. They share it with Al-Tadamoun.
