It’s still too early stage of the Regular Season in NBBL, but even now we can clearly see the difference between stronger teams and outsiders. Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Dresden edged Akademie at home 62-61. Dresden made 26-of-33 free shots (78.8 percent) during the game, while Wuerzburg Ak. only scored four points from the stripe.

At the other side the best for losing team was center Clemens Sokolov (211-2007) who recorded 18 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game.
