Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.
The most interesting game was a derby match between two local teams from Moscow: CSKA-Junior (#1) and MBA-2 (#2). MBA-2 was defeated at home 58-62 and even the fact of playing on their own court did not help. Worth to mention a great performance of Nikolay Natcvlishvili (198-2005) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 16 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists and guard Gleb Bukhalov (194-2007) who added 8 points and 4 steals during the contest. Forward Maxim Ogarkov (201-2006) responded with 8 points and 12 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. CSKA-Junior (32-6) have an impressive six-game winning streak. They maintain first position. MBA-2 at the other side keeps the second place with seven games lost. CSKA-Junior are looking forward to face Lokomotiv-2 (#8) in Krasnodar in the next round and are hoping to win another game. MBA-2 will play at home against Samara-2 (#10) and is hoping to prove to their fans that this time they can win.
Another interesting game was again a derby between two teams from Moscow: CSKA-Junior (#1) and MBA-2 (#2). MBA-2 was smashed at home by 25 points 58-83 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. The winners were led by Nikolay Natcvlishvili (198-2005) who scored that evening 12 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists and Rostislav Gusev supported him with 19 points. Even a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds by forward Maxim Ogarkov (201-2006) did not help to save the game for MBA-2. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. CSKA-Junior (32-6) have an impressive six-game winning streak. They maintain first position. MBA-2 at the other side keeps the second place with seven games lost. CSKA-Junior will play against Lokomotiv-2 (#8) in Krasnodar in the next round and are hoping to win another game. MBA-2 will play at home against Samara-2 (#10) and hopes to get back on the winning track.

Ivan Kasyanov produced 23 points and 5 rebounds for the hosts. Both coaches tested many bench players in such tough game. Avtodor-2 maintains twelfth position with 7-27 record. Loser Samara-2 keeps the tenth place with 23 games lost. Avtodor-2 will meet bottom-ranked Enisey-2 (#13) in the next round. Samara-2 will play against the league’s second-placed MBA-2 and will have a slim chance for a victory.
