D1 Round 21: IRT Tanger keep a leadership position

There will be only one (last) round of the Regular Season in D1. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The game had a very big importance for second-ranked IRT Tanger as it allowed them to take a leadership position. IRT Tanger defeated 3rd placed Majd T. at home 83-72. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Majd T.. IRT Tanger (10-2) have an impressive series of seven victories in a row. As mentioned above they are alone now at the top position. Newly promoted Majd T. dropped to the fourth place with four games lost. They share the position with WAC. Majd T. will have a break next week, which should allow them to rest in order to get back on the winning path. IRT Tanger will try to continue on its current victory against eighth ranked RSB Berkane on the road.
Very significant was AS Sale's (#3) 89-83 road victory against second-best FAR Rabat. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of FAR Rabat. It was a key game for the second position in the league. The victory was the third consecutive win for AS Sale. Defending champion (8-3) moved-up to second place. FAR Rabat at the other side dropped to the third position with four games lost. They share it with KACM. AS Sale will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. FAR Rabat will play at home against CPAM and hopes to get back on the winning track.
