Superleague Round 13: ADSC keep a leadership position

There are only two more rounds left in the Regular Season in Superleague. Host teams show no mercy winning all games. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The game had a very big importance for second-ranked ADSC as it allowed them to take a leadership position. ADSC smashed 6th ranked Al-Tadamoun in Baghdad 101-64. As mentioned above they are alone now at the top position. Al-Tadamoun lost third consecutive game. They keep the sixth place with 13 games lost. Al-Tadamoun will play next round against Al Hilla trying to get back on the winning streak. ADSC will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game.
Very important is a road loss of third ranked Ghaz Al-Shamal (6-8) against sixth ranked Al Karkh (6-7) on Monday night. Visiting Ghaz Al-Shamal was defeated by Al Karkh in a tough game in Al Karkh 78-87. Al Karkh moved-up to third place. Ghaz Al-Shamal lost sixth consecutive game. They dropped to the fourth position with eight games lost. They share it with Al Kahraba. Al Karkh will play against Nift Al-Shamal (#6) in Kirkuk in the next round.
