Regular Season Round 13: Valmiera - Liepaja 65-60

Date: January 6, 2011
Another exciting game was a derby match between two teams from Valmiera: Valmiera (#12) and Liepaja (#11). Valmiera (1-13) won against visiting Liepaja (3-10) 65-60. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But Liepaja won third quarter 19-15. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Liepaja was plagued by 26 personal fouls down the stretch. Power forward Pavels Veselovs (207-83, agency: Interperformances) nailed 22 points and 5 rebounds for the winning side and Lithuanian forward Arturas Valeika (206-85, college: Midland CC) accounted for 14 points and 7 rebounds. American guard Ashton Mitchell (180-88, college: Sam Houston St.) came up with 24 points and center Jurijs Aleksejevs (204-85) added 12 points and 11 rebounds respectively for Liepaja in the defeat. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Valmiera maintains twelfth place in Elite with 1-13 record. Liepaja at the other side keeps the eleventh position with ten games lost. Valmiera will play against higher ranked Rudupis (#3) in Prienai in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Liepaja will play at home against Norrkoping Dolphins (#8) in Norrkoping and hopes to get back on the winning track.
