Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Bottom-ranked Norwegian Fyllingen (0-2) is still winless. But it was rather predictable considering how strong their opponent was. This time they lost on the road their second consecutive match to top-ranked Slovakian Inter Bratislava (3-0) 90-88 on Wednesday evening. American guard Isaiah Cousins (193-1994, college: Oklahoma) scored 25 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists to lead the charge for the winners and the other American import swingman RJ Gunn (201-1999, college: Duquesne, agency: Players Group) chipped in 16 points and 6 rebounds during the contest.

They keep a position of league leader, which they share with 3 other teams. Defending Norwegian champion Fyllingen still closes the standings with two games lost.

Fyllingen will have a break next round.
Bottom-ranked British Flyers (0-3) is still winless. But it was rather predictable considering how strong their opponent was.

Legia's coach allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. Even 16 points and 8 rebounds by American guard Jared Sherfield (198-2000, college: Lander) did not help to save the game for Bristol Flyers. Legia moved-up to second place. Bristol Flyers at the other side still closes the standings with three games lost. They share the position with 3 other teams.
