Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.
The most interesting game was a derby match between two local teams from Skopje: MZT (#3) and Badel (#6). MZT (6-2) smashed visiting Badel (2-6) by 33 points 71-38. MZT maintains third position with 6-2 record behind leader Vardar. Badel at the other side dropped to the seventh place with six games lost. MZT are looking forward to face Grizli (#4) in Kumanovo in the next round. Badel will play at home against Kriva Palanka and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
The game between Top Four teams took place in Skopje. First ranked host Vardar (7-1) defeated 4th ranked Grizli (4-4) 83-77. Vardar maintains first position with 7-1 record, which they share with KAM Basket. Grizli at the other side keeps the fourth place with four games lost. Vardar will play against bottom-ranked Struga 2009 (#8) on the road in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Grizli will play against MZT (#3) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Bottom-ranked Struga 2009 (0-8) is still winless. This time they lost on the road their eighth consecutive match to seventh ranked Probasket (3-5) 89-38 on Sunday evening. Probasket moved-up to fifth place, which they share with Kriva Palanka. Loser Struga 2009 still closes the standings with eight games lost. Probasket will meet league's second-placed KAM Basket in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Struga 2009 will play against the league's leader Vardar (#1) and hopes to get finally their first victory.
In the last game of round 8 KAM Basket won against Kriva Palanka on the opponent's court 77-67.
Kriva Palanka - KAM Basket 67-77Rather expected game when 5th ranked
Kriva Palanka (3-5) was defeated at home by second ranked
KAM Basket (7-1)
77-67 on Tuesday.
KAM Basket have a solid three-game winning streak. Defending champion keeps a position of league leader, which they share with Vardar. Loser Kriva Palanka keeps the fifth place with five games lost. They share the position with Probasket.
KAM Basket will meet at home Probasket (#5) in the next round. Kriva Palanka will play against Badel in Skopje and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
