Regular Season Round 16: Valmiera - Ventspils 68-83
Date: January 22, 2011
One of the most interesting games of round 16 was a derby match between two teams from Latvia. Fourth ranked Ventspils won against host Valmiera (1-16) 83-68. The game was mostly controlled by Ventspils. Valmiera managed to win fourth quarter 18-15. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Valmiera was plagued by 26 personal fouls down the stretch. The winners were led by forward Maris Gulbis (202-85) who scored that evening 16 points and 7 rebounds and center Arturs Berzins (204-88, agency: FCM) supported him with 18 points and 5 rebounds. Even a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds by power forward Pavels Veselovs (207-83, agency: Interperformances) did not help to save the game for Valmiera. Lithuanian forward Arturas Valeika (206-85, college: Midland CC) added 13 points and 11 rebounds for lost side. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Valmiera's coach Gatis Melderis rotated ten players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Ventspils (10-4) moved-up to third place in Elite. Valmiera lost third consecutive game. They stay at the bottom position with 16 games lost. Ventspils will play against Liepaja (#10) at home in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Valmiera will play against Norrkoping Dolphins in Norrkoping to get more than just one victory in their record.
