Baltic League
Regular Season Round 14: Liepaja - Norrkoping 107-85
Date: January 9, 2011
We should mention about the upset which took place in Liepaja, where 8th ranked Swedish Norrkoping Dolphins (6-7) were outleveled in a road game by eleventh ranked Latvian Liepaja (4-10) 107-85 on Sunday. The game was mostly controlled by Liepaja. Norrkoping Dolphins managed to win second period 25-22. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Strangely Norrkoping Dolphins outrebounded Liepaja 45-32 including 20 on the offensive glass. The best player for the winners was guard Raimonds Vaikulis (191-80) who scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. American guard Ashton Mitchell (180-88, college: Sam Houston St.) chipped in 27 points and 5 assists. Four Liepaja players scored in double figures. Power forward Joakim Kjellbom (213-79, college: N.Arizona) produced 23 points and 7 rebounds and swingman Sandis Valters (193-78) added 13 points and 8 rebounds respectively for the guests. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Liepaja moved-up to tenth place in Elite. Defending Swedish champion Norrkoping Dolphins keep the eighth position with seven games lost. Liepaja will face higher ranked Perlas (#9) in Vilnius in the next round and it may be quite challenging game.
