Regular Season Round 23: ToPo - KTP 67-82
Date: January 6, 2012
Worth to mention about the upset in a game between Torpan Pojat (12-9) and KTP-Basket (7-14), which took place in Helsinki. 4th placed Torpan Pojat lost at home to tenth ranked KTP-Basket 67-82 on Friday. It was a very close game until the last quarter, when KTP-Basket's pressure prevailed and they won that period 20-9 extending their advantage to 15 points. It was an exceptional evening for American forward Tim Blue (205-84, college: Middle Tenn.St.) who led the winners and scored 22 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks. His fellow American import swingman Tony Crocker (201-87, college: Oklahoma) accounted for 22 points and 6 rebounds (was perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line) for the winning side. American guard Chase Griffin (188-83, college: Pepperdine) came up with 13 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists and the former international power forward Hanno Mottola (209-76, college: Utah) added 16 points and 5 rebounds respectively for Torpan Pojat in the defeat. Four Torpan Pojat players scored in double figures. KTP-Basket have a solid series of three victories in a row. They maintain tenth place with 7-14 record. Loser Torpan Pojat dropped to the fifth position with nine games lost. KTP-Basket will meet at home higher ranked Tampereen Pyrinto (#3) in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Torpan Pojat will play against the league's second-placed Loimaan Korikonkarit and will have a slim chance for a victory.
