DEX-H Round 11 (Regular Season): IRT Tanger beat MTB in a derby game

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most exciting game was a derby match between two local teams from Tanger: IRT Tanger (#2) and MTB (#8). IRT Tanger (10-1) crushed visiting MTB (3-8) by 40 points 104-64. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of MTB. IRT Tanger have an impressive series of nine victories in a row. They keep a position of league leader, which they share with FUS Rabat. MTB at the other side keeps the eighth place with eight games lost. They share the position with ASCHBB. IRT Tanger is looking forward to face AS Sale (#3) on the road in the next round, which may be the game of the day. MTB will play against the league's leader FUS Rabat (#1) and is hoping to prove to their supporters that the loss was just an accident.
Leader FUS Rabat delivered the tenth victory. This time they crushed 10th ranked Essaouira (2-8) 108-66. The victory was the fourth consecutive win for FUS Rabat. Defending champion maintains first place with 10-1 record, which they share with IRT Tanger. Essaouira lost their third game in a row. Newly promoted team keeps the tenth position with eight games lost. They share it with KACM. FUS Rabat will play against MTB (#9) in Tanger in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Essaouira will play at home against Larache and hopes to get back on the winning track.
Bottom-ranked CPAM (0-11) tried to put together a comeback for its first victory of the season, but they fell short in the 91-73 loss to sixth ranked Larache (6-5) in Midelt on Sunday evening. Larache maintains sixth place with 6-5 record. CPAM lost their eleventh game in a row. Newly promoted team still closes the standings with 11 games lost. Larache will meet Essaouira (#11) on the road in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. CPAM will play against WAC and hopes to get finally their first victory.
