Regular Season Round 16: Kutaisi - Batumi 82-73

Date: March 1, 2013
No shocking result in a game when sixth ranked Kutaisi (9-6) defeated at home 9th ranked Batumi (3-12) 82-73 on Friday. The hosts trailed by 10 points after three quarters before their 29-10 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Kutaisi dominated down low during the game scoring 46 of its points in the paint compared to Batumi's 26. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Kutaisi made 7 blocks. Worth to mention a great performance of international center Richard Matiashvili (207-89) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 30 points, 18 rebounds and 6 blocks and guard Buba Kvimsadze (195-82) who added 21 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists during the contest. At the losing side the former international forward Lasha Keshelava (200-81) responded with 29 points and 9 rebounds and guard Ivane Maisuradze (194-85) scored 8 points and 6 assists. Batumi's coach Mikhail Kobeshavidze tested ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Kutaisi maintains sixth position with 9-6 record. Batumi lost seventh consecutive game. They keep the ninth place with 12 games lost. Kutaisi will meet at home higher ranked Olimpi (#3) in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Batumi will play against TSU (#7) in Tbilisi and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
