Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most important game in the last round was the one between Danish Stevnsgade (0-3) and top-ranked Latvian Jugla (8-0) on Saturday night. Stevnsgade unexpectedly was crushed by 28-96. The game without a history. Jugla led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. They dominated on the defensive end, holding Stevnsgade to just 1 points in second quarter and to 12 points in first half. Jugla held Stevnsgade to an opponent 21.7 percent shooting from the field compared to 50.6 percent accuracy of the winners. Jugla forced 35 Stevnsgade turnovers and outrebounded them 49-28 including a 24-11 advantage in offensive rebounds. Jugla looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists comparing to just 3 passes made by Stevnsgade's players. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Jugla made 8 blocks. Kristofers Lorencs scored 20 points and 6 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and Nils Zabers chipped in 13 points and 7 rebounds during the contest. At the losing side Elliot Vibsig responded with 14 points and 7 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Undefeated Jugla have an impressive five-game winning streak. Despite that victory Jugla went down to 56th position due to points difference, which they share with Zalgiris. Stevnsgade at the other side still closes the standings with three games lost.
Very important is a loss of Danish Stevnsgade (0-3) against 90th ranked Estonian TalTech (1-7) on Friday night. Stevnsgade was crushed by TalTech 70-45. Martin Roost notched 30 points and 5 rebounds (on 11-of-14 shooting from the field) to lead the effort and Verner Salumae supported him with 14 points and 6 rebounds. Even 18 points by Elliot Vibsig did not help to save the game for Stevnsgade.
