Regular Season Round 37: Pyrinto - ToPo 80-71
Date: March 7, 2012
Rather expected game when 5th ranked Torpan Pojat (18-15) was defeated on the road by third ranked Tampereen Pyrinto (23-11) 80-71. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning the initial quarter 28-21. But Torpan Pojat won second period 25-20. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. The game was decided in the last minutes when Tampereen Pyrinto won last quarter 18-11. It was a great shooting night for Tampereen Pyrinto especially from behind the arc, where they had solid 53.3 percentage. 25 personal fouls committed by Torpan Pojat helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a very good performance for American forward Damon Williams (201-73, college: Colorado St.-Pueblo) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 14 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. His fellow American import guard Kenneth Lowe (192-80, college: Purdue) contributed with 14 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners. Five Tampereen Pyrinto players scored in double figures. American guard Chase Griffin (188-83, college: Pepperdine) answered with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals and international forward Kimmo Muurinen (202-81, college: UALR) added 17 points (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field) in the effort for Torpan Pojat. Defending champion maintains third place with 23-11 record having just three points less than leader Kataja. Torpan Pojat at the other side keeps the fifth position with 15 games lost. Tampereen Pyrinto will have a break next round. Torpan Pojat will play at home against Kauhajoen Karhu (#4) in Kauhajoki and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
