The teams have now bigger motivation at this stage of Regular Season. Every game can be crucial and decide about teams’ position at the end of Regular Season. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.
11th ranked Amager (1-16) was outscored at home by fifth ranked Randers (10-6) with the biggest margin this round 105-81 on Monday night. Randers made 18-of-21 free shots (85.7 percent) during the game. They also forced 22 Amager turnovers. Nigerian center Paschal Chukwu (218-1995, college: Syracuse) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 15 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) for the winners and American-Mali swingman Bakary Camara (199-1998, college: Bridgeport) chipped in 19 points. The best for the losing side was American forward Andrew Sims (198, college: Stonehill) with a double-double by scoring 27 points and 10 rebounds (went 7 for 7 at the free throw line). The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Randers maintains fifth place with 10-6 record. Amager lost fifth consecutive game. They stay at the bottom position with 16 games lost. Randers are looking forward to face league’s second-placed Svendborg at home in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Amager will have a break next round.
In the last two games of round 21 Herlev lost to BAC on the opponent’s court 93-104. Svendborg outscored Vaerlose in a home game 98-76.
BAC – Herlev 104-93
Rather expected game in Aarhus where 10th ranked Herlev (2-14) was defeated by eighth ranked BAC (4-11) 104-93 on Friday. BAC looked well-organized offensively handing out 29 assists comparing to just 14 passes made by Herlev‘s players. Magnus Madsen (201-2003, agency: Blacktop Management) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 19 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals for the winners and naturalized German Silas Oriane (196-2004) chipped in 24 points and 6 rebounds. Five BAC players scored in double figures. The best for the losing side was American swingman Jaden Dewar-Edwards (198-1999, college: Humboldt St.) with a double-double by scoring 32 points and 16 rebounds (went 7 for 7 at the free throw line) and guard Igor Bakic (200-2000) scored 26 points and 8 rebounds. BAC maintains eighth place with 4-11 record. Herlev lost eighth consecutive game. They keep the tenth position with 14 games lost. BAC’s supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Aarhus to the arena Bakken.
