Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Fourth defeat of league's leader Al Wahda (6-4) against fourth ranked Al Ittihad (6-3) 82-74 was the most important game of the last round. It was a key game for the second position in the league. Al Ittihad moved-up to second place, which they share with Al Karameh. Defending champion Al Wahda dropped to the fourth position with four games lost. They were replaced at the leadership position by Al Nawaeer. Al Wahda will play next round against Al Jaish trying to make it back to the top of the standings. It will be a derby game for which supporters look forward to, where their team will travel locally in Damascus to the arena of Al Jaish. Al Ittihad will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game.
Important game to mention about took place in Aleppo. Second ranked Al Nawaeer (7-3) saved a 2-point victory on the road edging 5th ranked Al Jalaa (5-4) 74-72 on Saturday evening. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Al Jalaa. Al Nawaeer have a solid four-game winning streak. They keep a position of league leader.

Al Nawaeer will play against league's second-placed Al Karameh in Homs in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Al Jalaa will have a break next round.
Bottom-ranked Al Wathba is still unable to win any game. This time they could not use their home court advantage losing their tenth consecutive match to seventh ranked Al Jaish (4-6) 98-79 on Friday evening. Al Jaish have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain seventh position with 4-6 record. Loser Al Wathba still closes the standings with ten games lost.
