Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of Al Jaish (5-1) in Damascus on Thursday night. Hosts were defeated by top-ranked Al Karameh (6-0) 91-85. It ended at the same time the five-game winning streak of Al Jaish. Undefeated Al Karameh have an impressive six-game winning streak. Defending champion moved-up to third place. Al Jaish at the other side dropped to the fourth position with one game lost.
Another interesting game was a derby match between two teams from Aleppo: Al Ittihad (#2) and Al Hurriyeh (#8). Al Hurriyeh was smashed at home by 37 points 59-96 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. Al Ittihad (11-1) have an impressive 11-game winning streak. They maintain second position having just one point less than leader Al Wahda. Al Hurriyeh at the other side keeps the eighth place with three games lost.
Al Thawra has finally registered their first victory this season after five consecutive losses.
