Karol Kaminski

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

The most surprising game was the first loss of Sokol (9-1) in Lancut on Wednesday night. Hosts were defeated by sixteenth ranked Znicz (2-8) 96-86. It ended at the same time the nine-game winning streak of Sokol. Znicz looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. 25 personal fouls committed by Sokol helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Worth to mention a great performance of swingman Karol Kaminski (195-97) who helped to win the game recording 18 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Power forward Lukasz Bodych (201-90) contributed with 18 points and 9 rebounds for the winners. point guard Marcin Nowakowski (184-89) replied with 17 points and 5 assists for Sokol. Sokol’s coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn’t help. Znicz maintains sixteenth position with 2-8 record. Sokol at the other side still keeps top place with one game lost. They share the position with Tychy. Znicz are looking forward to face league’s second-placed Tychy at home in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Sokol will play against Slask in Wroclaw and is hoping to win this game.
Very important is a home loss of third ranked WKK Wroclaw (7-3) against tenth ranked Slask (5-5) on Wednesday night. Host WKK Wroclaw was defeated by Slask in Wroclaw 82-70. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of WKK Wroclaw. Power forward Szymon Tomczak (201-98) had a double-double by scoring 26 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists to lead the charge for the winners and Kacper Gordon chipped in 22 points and 4 assists during the contest. At the losing side point guard Tomasz Ochonko (183-86, agency: BIG) responded with 17 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Slask moved-up to eighth place, which they share with Starogard Gd.

Bottom-ranked Turow is still unable to win any game. This time they could not use their home court advantage losing their ninth consecutive match to fourteenth ranked Pelplin (3-6) 90-73 on Wednesday evening. Karol Michalek notched a double-double by scoring 20 points and 13 rebounds to lead the effort. Pelplin’s coach Marcin Radomski used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Even 15 points and 9 assists by Kacper Traczyk did not help to save the game for Turow. Pelplin moved-up to eleventh place, which they share with 3 other teams. Newly promoted Turow still closes the standings with nine games lost. Pelplin will meet at home higher ranked WKK Wroclaw (#5) in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game.
