Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most surprising game was another loss of top-ranked Storm (19-5) in Bradford on Saturday night. Visitors were defeated by twelfth ranked Dragons (7-17)

96-91. Bradford D. forced 19 Hemel Storm turnovers and had a 19-8 advantage in offensive rebounds. American point guard Justin Williams (178-1999, college: IU East) scored 38 points (!!!) to lead the charge for the winners and Latvian forward Rihards Sulcs (190-1987) chipped in 13 points and 15 rebounds during the contest. Canadian forward Matthew Ellis (201, college: Victoria) responded with 16 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field). Storm's coach tried various players' combinations and tested in total eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Bradford D. maintains twelfth position with 7-17 record. Hemel Storm at the other side still keeps top place with five games lost.
Very important is a road loss of second ranked Rockets (17-7) against seventh ranked Cavaliers (10-14) on Saturday night.

The former international guard Justin Robinson (188-1987, college: Rider) notched 20 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists to lead the effort and Troy McIndoe supported him with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Cavaliers' coach Nigel Lloyd allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. Even 24 points and 9 rebounds by Canadian forward Simon Chamberlain (201) did not help to save the game for Reading. Cavaliers have a solid three-game winning streak. Thames Valley C. maintains seventh position with 10-14 record, which they share with Bristol H. Reading at the other side keeps the second place with seven games lost. They share the position with Derby T..
Eleventh-ranked Knights (8-16) gave a tough game to sixth ranked Riders (14-10) in Newcastle on Sunday. The visitors from Loughborough managed to secure only three-point victory 75-72. However their fans expected much easier game. The best player for the winners was Michael Joiner who scored 26 points. Riders' coach William Maynard used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. Ronald Blain produced a double-double by scoring 21 points and 11 rebounds for the hosts. Loughborough moved-up to fifth place, which they share with Essex R. Newcastle lost fourth consecutive game.

Loughborough recorded a loss to Milton Keynes on the road 81-89. Milton Keynes defeated Essex R. on its own court 82-75. Bradford D. was beaten by Thames Valley C. in Binfield 70-67.
