Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most exciting game of round 10 in the Proliga took place in Albufeira. This derby game ended with only three-point defeat on the road of much higher ranked Vasco da Gama (18-6) to seventh ranked Imortal U23 (10-14)

83-80 on Sunday evening. It was quite big embarassment for the guest team. Imortal U23 outrebounded Vasco da Gama 47-34 including 32 on the defensive glass. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Imortal U23 made 8 blocks. Point guard Salvador Victo (185-2005, agency: Promo Sport ID) fired a double-double by scoring 21 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists for the winners. Center Gustavo Rodrigues (185-2006) chipped in 27 points and 6 rebounds. American guard Victor Nwagbaraocha (190, college: UMSL) produced a double-double by scoring 22 points and 11 rebounds for lost side. Vasco da Gama's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Imortal U23 maintains seventh position with 10-14 record, which they share with Sampaense. Vasco da Gama at the other side keeps the second place with six games lost. Imortal U23 is looking forward to face Sangalhos (#8) at home in the next round. Vasco da Gama will play against Queluz (#3) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Very important is a road loss of third ranked CAB Madeira (15-9) against fifth ranked Queluz (15-9) on Saturday night. Visiting CAB Madeira was defeated by Queluz in a tough game in Queluz 70-78. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of CAB Madeira. Worth to mention a great performance of Angolan forward Helder Neto (198-2001) who helped to win the game recording 21 points and 9 rebounds. Lashon Lindsey contributed with 13 points and 10 rebounds for the winners. American forward John Korte (198, college: West Liberty) replied with 23 points and 8 rebounds for CAB Madeira. Queluz moved-up to third place, which they share with CAB Madeira and Portimonense. Queluz will play against league's second-placed Vasco da Gama in Porto in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. CAB Madeira will play on the road against Illiabum in Ilhavo and hopes to get back on the winning track.
Very important is a road loss of third ranked Portimonense (15-9) against sixth ranked Illiabum (14-10) on Saturday night. Visiting Portimonense was defeated by Illiabum in Ilhavo 80-70. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Portimonense. Trevon Evans had a double-double by scoring 26 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists to lead the charge for the winners. At the losing side Antonio Monteiro responded with 20 points and 8 rebounds. Portimonense's coach tested ten players, but that didn't help to avoid defeat in this game. Illiabum maintains sixth position with 14-10 record. Loser Portimonense keeps the third place with nine games lost. They share the position with CAB Madeira and Queluz. Illiabum will meet at home higher ranked CAB Madeira (#4) in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Portimonense will play against the league's leader Braga and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
