Nicaragua  TBN Round 15 (Regular Season): Top-ranked Flecheros win another game
Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

TBN top team - Flecheros (14-1) had no problems winning another game on Saturday. This time they crushed twenty second ranked Nicaragua U16 (0-14) in Managua 110-54. Flecheros dominated down low during the game scoring 76 of its points in the paint compared to Nicaragua U16's 34. Flecheros forced 26 Nicaragua U16 turnovers. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Flecheros made 7 blocks. It was a good game for international Kevin Andino (186-2002) who led his team to a victory with 15 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 steals. The former international point guard Daniel Tenorio (177-1990) contributed with 18 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. Marcello Barberena answered with 10 points and 8 rebounds for Nicaragua U16. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Flecheros have a solid series of three victories in a row. They maintain first place with 14-1 record. Nicaragua U16 at the other side still closes the standings with 14 games lost.
The game between leader Jaguares (13-0) and 20th ranked Academia PLAV (2-13) in Managua ended with biggest points difference. Jaguares outscored guests from Managua 147-54.

Jensen Campbell helped adding 22 points and 4 steals (on 9-of-11 shooting from the field). The best for the losing side was Jose Munguia with a double-double by scoring 19 points and 15 rebounds. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Undefeated Jaguares have an impressive series of thirteen victories in a row. They moved-up to second place. Academia PLAV lost twelfth consecutive game. They keep the twentieth position with 13 games lost.
