Regular Season Round 1: Liepaja - Valga 96-66

Date: October 4, 2012
The game had a very big importance for eighth-ranked Latvian Liepaja as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Liepaja smashed bottom-ranked Estonian Valga at home 96-66. It was a key game for the top position in the league. The hosts trailed by 3 points after first quarter, but they stormed back to get the 12-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 96-66. Liepaja forced 27 Valga turnovers. Arturs Bricis (196-92) stepped up and scored 18 points (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) for the winners and guard Artis Ate (191-89) chipped in 14 points. Liepaja's coach Guntis Endzels felt very confident that he used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. At the losing side Nigerian-Russian center Aleksey Adediran (204-82, college: Binghamton) responded with a double-double by scoring 14 points and 11 rebounds and swingman Veljo Vares (200-81) scored 14 points and 6 rebounds. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. As mentioned above they are at the top of the standings, which they share with 3 other teams. Valga at the other side still closes the standings with one game lost. They share the position with 3 other teams. Valga will play next round against Jelgava trying to get back on the winning streak. Liepaja will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game.
