MBL Round 21 (Regular Season): Miners are defeated by Selenge

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most surprising game was a loss of top-ranked Miners (14-3) in Erdenet on Monday night. Hosts were rolled over by seventh ranked Bodons (9-10) 90-64. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Miners. Selenge have a solid series of three victories in a row. Bodons moved-up to sixth place. Defending champion Miners dropped to the second position with three games lost.
Another exciting game was a derby match between two teams from Ulaanbaatar: Knights (#5) and BCH Garid (#3). BCH Garid was defeated at home 79-89 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. It ended at the same time the five-game winning streak of BCH Garid. Khuleguud (11-7) have an impressive series of six victories in a row. Knights maintains fifth place. Newly promoted BCH Garid keeps the third position with three games lost.
MBL top team - Miners (14-3) managed to deliver another win on Saturday. This time they beat twelfth ranked United (3-12) in Darkhan 75-66. Despite that victory Miners went down to second position due to points difference. Newly promoted Darkhan keeps the twelfth place with 12 games lost.
