The game was mostly controlled by Liepaja. Jurmala managed to win fourth quarter 27-25. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They outrebounded Jurmala 47-29 including a 38-23 advantage in defensive rebounds. Liepaja looked well-organized offensively handing out 26 assists comparing to just 8 passes made by Jurmala's players. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Liepaja made 7 blocks. American guard Josh Mayo (182-87, college: Ill.-Chicago, agency: Ryzhov Stanislav) orchestrated the victory by scoring 15 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. Forward Arnolds Helmanis (201-92) contributed with a double-double by scoring 15 points and 11 rebounds for the winners. Five Liepaja players scored in double figures. Forward Ugis Pinete (194-91) answered with 18 points and forward Atis Ozols (198-81) added 12 points and 6 rebounds in the effort for Jurmala. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Liepaja have a solid series of four victories in a row. As mentioned above they are alone now at the top position. Newly promoted Jurmala keeps the eighth place with 15 games lost. Jurmala will play next round against strong Ventspils trying to get back on the winning streak. Liepaja will try to continue on its current victory against sixth ranked Jelgava on the road.
