The most surprising game was a loss of top-ranked Al-Difaa (16-3) in Baghdad on Friday night. Visitors were defeated by fifth ranked Dijlah (10-7) 85-76. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of Al-Difaa. Dijlah maintains fifth position with 10-7 record. Newly promoted Al-Difaa still keeps top place with three games lost.
Another interesting game was a derby match between two teams from Baghdad: Al Naft (#2) and Al Shurtah (#4). Al Shurtah was defeated at home 74-85 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. Al Naft have a solid four-game winning streak.
