Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most exciting game of round 10 in the Division I took place in Luanda. This derby game ended with only two-point home defeat of 5th ranked Interclube B (9-15) to fourth ranked Sporting L.

Another interesting game was a derby match between two teams from Luanda: P.Luanda (#1) and P.Luanda B (#6). P.Luanda B was smashed at home by 18 points 75-93 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. P.Luanda (22-2) have an impressive 14-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains first position. P.Luanda B lost seventh consecutive game. They keep the sixth place with 14 games lost. P.Luanda's supporters look forward to another derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Luanda 1 De Agosto.
Another interesting game was again a derby between two local teams from Luanda: 1 De Agosto (#2) and Porto do Lobito (#4). Porto do Lobito was smashed at home by 24 points 87-111 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Porto do Lobito. 1 De Agosto have a solid four-game winning streak.

Loser Porto do Lobito keeps the fourth place with seven games lost. 1 De Agosto's supporters look forward to another derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Luanda to the arena P.Luanda.
