D1 Round 11 (Second Stage): Derby game ends with Ahly Tripoli's defeat of Al Ittihad

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most exciting game was a derby match between two local teams from Tripoli: Ahly Tripoli (#1) and Al Ittihad (#3). Ahly Tripoli (10-0) won against visiting Al Ittihad (5-5) 85-78. Undefeated Ahly Tripoli have an impressive series of ten victories in a row. Defending champion maintains first place with 10-0 record. Al Ittihad at the other side dropped to the fourth position with five games lost. Ahly Tripoli are looking forward to face bottom-ranked Al Morog (#7) in Almarj in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Al Ittihad will play on the road against Al Hilal in Benghazi and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
Another exciting game was again a derby between two teams from Benghazi: Al Nasr (#4) and Al Hilal (#6). Al Hilal was defeated at home 66-80 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. Al Nasr (6-5) moved-up to third place. Al Hilal at the other side keeps the sixth position with seven games lost. Al Nasr will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Al Hilal will play at home against Al Ittihad (#4) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
The game in Almarj was also quite interesting. Second ranked Ahly Benghazi (8-3) played at the court of 7th ranked Al Morog (2-8). Ahly Benghazi managed to secure a 4-point victory 81-77 on Thursday. The victory was the third consecutive win for Ahly Benghazi. They maintain second place with 8-3 record having just one point less than leader Ahly Tripoli. Al Morog lost their third game in a row. They stay at the bottom position with eight games lost. Ahly Benghazi will meet Al Madina (#5) in the next round. Al Morog will play against the league's leader Ahly Tripoli and hope to secure a win.
