POSTED BY: Eurobasket News

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most interesting game was a derby match between two local teams from Aleppo: Al Ittihad (#1) and Al Hurriyeh (#7). Al Hurriyeh was smashed at home by 26 points 57-83 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. Defending champion maintains first position with 15-3 record. Al Hurriyeh at the other side keeps the seventh place with 12 games lost.
Very important is a road loss of second ranked Al Jaish (13-5) against fourth ranked Al Nawaeer (12-4) on Friday night. Visiting Al Jaish was defeated by Al Nawaeer in Hama 82-70. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of Al Jaish. Al Nawaeer have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain fourth position with 12-4 record. Al Jaish at the other side dropped to the third place with five games lost.
The game between third ranked Al Wahda (13-3) and 11th ranked Al Taleiah (1-16) in Damascus on Friday ended with biggest points difference. Al Wahda outscored guests from Hama 103-71. Al Wahda have an impressive ten-game winning streak. They moved-up to second place. Al Taleiah lost seventh consecutive game. They stay at the bottom position with 16 games lost.

In the last two games of round 22 Tishreen was beaten by Al Karameh on the road 107-91. Al Jalaa won against Al Wathba on its own court 87-82.

Al Karameh - Tishreen 107-91

No shocking result in a game when sixth ranked Al Karameh (11-5) beat 8th ranked Tishreen (5-12) in Homs 107-91 on Saturday. Al Karameh maintains sixth position with 11-5 record. Tishreen lost fifth consecutive game. Newly promoted team keeps the eighth place with 12 games lost.

Al Jalaa - Al Wathba 87-82

Very expected game when 10th ranked Al Wathba (3-16) lost to fifth ranked Al Jalaa (12-5) in Aleppo 82-87 on Saturday. However just five-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. Al Jalaa have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain fifth position with 12-5 record. Loser Al Wathba keeps the tenth place with 16 games lost.
