Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.
The most interesting game was a derby match between two local teams from Cairo: Al Ahly (#1) and Misr Insurance (#6). Misr Insurance was defeated at home 70-80 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Misr Insurance. Al Ahly dominated down low during the game scoring 52 of its points in the paint compared to Misr Insurance's 26. Al Ahly forced 21 Misr Insurance turnovers and outrebounded them 44-30 including a 21-3 advantage in offensive rebounds. Al Ahly looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of Nadine Salawi who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 18 points, 17 rebounds and 7 assists. American-South Sudanese forward Rose Macuei (187-2000) contributed with 23 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. point guard Hala Yassine (170-2003) replied with 29 points for Misr Insurance. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Undefeated Al Ahly (9-0) have an impressive nine-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains first position with a perfect record of 9 victories in a row. Misr Insurance at the other side keeps the sixth place with six games lost.
Bottom-ranked New Giza is still unable to win any game. This time they lost on the road their eighth consecutive match to eleventh ranked Al Gezira (4-5) 88-54. Sandy Abdellatif (180-2002) had a double-double by scoring 18 points and 10 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) to lead the charge for the winners and Sara Khaled chipped in 10 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists during the contest. At the losing side the former international power forward Ganna Marouf (185-1998) responded with 16 points and 7 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Al Gezira have a solid three-game winning streak. They moved-up to eighth place, which they share with 3 other teams. New Giza at the other side still closes the standings with eight games lost. They share the position with Aviation.
