Regular Season Round 25: ToPo - Kataja 90-92
Date: January 7, 2011
Seventh-ranked Torpan Pojat (12-13) used its home court advantage to challenge third ranked Joensuun Kataja (17-8) in Helsinki on Friday. The visitors from Joensuu managed to secure only two-point victory 92-90. However their fans expected much easier game. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Torpan Pojat. The guests took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But Torpan Pojat won third quarter 22-19. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. American players dominated the game. Worth to mention a great performance of swingman Jared Newson (195-84, college: Tennessee-Martin, agency: Court Side) who helped to win the game recording 20 points and 7 rebounds. Power forward Darren Fells (201-86, agency: Court Side) contributed with 21 points for the winners. Guard Frank Richards (188-82, college: Kansas St.) answered with 19 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists and forward LaVell Blanchard (201-81, college: Michigan, agency: Beo Basket) added 20 points and 8 rebounds in the effort for Torpan Pojat. Five Joensuun Kataja and four Torpan Pojat players scored in double figures. Joensuun Kataja maintains third place with 17-8 record having four points less than leader KTP. Torpan Pojat at the other side keeps the seventh position with 13 games lost. Joensuun Kataja is looking forward to face league's second-placed Tampereen Pyrinto at home in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Torpan Pojat will play against Salon Vilpas (#10) and is hoping to prove to their supporters that this time they can win.
