Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The game had a very big importance for second-ranked Leverkusen as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Leverkusen smashed 14th ranked Ballers at home 85-62. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Leverkusen made 7 blocks. The best player for the winners was Latrell Grosskopf (200-2001) who scored 15 points and 7 rebounds. American Quadre Lollis Jr (196-1994, college: Presentation, agency: Interperformances) chipped in 17 points. Leverkusen's coach Hans-Juergen Gnad felt very confident that he used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. At the other side the best for losing team was Luka Zajic (195-2004) who recorded 14 points. Leverkusen (14-4) have an impressive seven-game winning streak. As mentioned above they are alone now at the top position. Ibbenbueren lost fifth consecutive game. Newly promoted team keeps the fourteenth place with 15 games lost. They share the position with Schwenningen. Ibbenbueren will play next round against TKS 49ers trying to get back on the winning streak. Leverkusen will try to continue on its current victory against eleventh ranked Iserlohn on the road.
Very important is a home loss of second ranked RheinStars (13-5) against ninth ranked TKS 49ers (9-9) on Saturday night. Host RheinStars were crushed by TKS 49ers in Koeln 77-57. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of RheinStars. It was a good game for Bulgarian Filip Kamenov (200-1995) who led his team to a victory with 17 points and 6 rebounds. Robin Jorch contributed with 12 points and 4 steals for the winners. point guard Rupert Hennen (184-1997) replied with 17 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists for Koeln. Both coaches used bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. TKS 49ers moved-up to seventh place, which they share with Ludwigsburg and Rostock II. Koeln at the other side dropped to the third position with five games lost. TKS 49ers will play against Ibbenbueren (#14) at home in the next round and are hoping to win another game.

TSV Troester will meet higher ranked Speyer (#10) on the road in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. OrangeAcad. will play against the league's leader Rhoendorf (#1) where they are definitely not considered as a favorite in this game either.
