There will be only one (last) round of the Regular Season in 2Liga. The round was exceptionally exciting as three games ended with a tiny margin. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked Prudnik (27-2) at the home court on Saturday night. Hosts were defeated by fourth ranked Pleszew (22-7)

90-82. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Prudnik. It may be a crucial game in the contest for the top position in the league.
