Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

A Division top team - Atomeromu (7-0) had no problems winning another game on Saturday. This time they crushed seventh ranked Szedeak (3-4) in Szeged 98-69. Atomeromu looked well-organized offensively handing out 26 assists comparing to just 9 passes made by Szedeak's players. Worth to mention a great performance of Canadian-Trinidad and Tobago guard Yasiin Joseph (185-1996, college: Carleton) who helped to win the game recording 18 points. point guard Daniel Halmai (185-2004) contributed with 9 points and 10 assists for the winners. Serbian swingman Djordje Drenovac (198) answered with 20 points and 9 rebounds for Szedeak. 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 Atomeromu have an impressive series of seven victories in a row. They maintain first place with 7-0 record. Szedeak at the other side keeps the seventh position with four games lost. They share it with 3 other teams. Atomeromu are looking forward to face bottom-ranked Duna Aszfalt (#14) in Kecskemet in the next round which should be another easy win for them. Szedeak will play on the road against Szolnok (#4) and is hoping to prove to their supporters that this time they can win.
Bottom-ranked Duna Aszfalt is still unable to win any game. This time they could not use their home court advantage losing their seventh consecutive match to third ranked Alba (5-2) 88-84. It was a great evening for the former international swingman David Vojvoda (196-1990) who led his team to a victory scoring 21 points and 5 assists. Joshua Scott helped adding 15 points and 7 assists. At the losing side American guard Shaun Doss (194-1999, college: UAPB) responded with 27 points and 4 assists. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Alba maintains third place with 5-2 record having just two points less than leader Atomeromu, which they share with Szolnok and Kaposvari. Duna Aszfalt lost their seventh game in a row. They still close the standings with seven games lost. Alba will play against DEAC (#12) in Debrecen in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Duna Aszfalt will play on the road against the league's leader Atomeromu in Paks and hopes to get finally their first victory.
The game in Oraszlany was also quite interesting. Fifth ranked Kaposvari (5-2) played at the court of 6th ranked OSE Lions (3-4). Kaposvari managed to secure a 5-point victory 96-91 on Saturday. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of OSE Lions. It was an exceptional evening for Anthony Walker who led the winners and scored 35 points (!!!).

Kaposvari will meet at home NKA Pecs (#13) in the next round and are hoping to win another game. OSE Lions will play against Phoenix-MT (#9) in Fot and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
