Regular Season Round 23: Valmiera - Liepaja/Triobet 103-99

Date: February 25, 2017
There was no surprise when 6th ranked Liepaja/Triobet (10-13) was defeated on the road by second ranked Valmiera (15-8) 103-99. However just four-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. Liepaja/Triobet was ahead by 1 point at the halftime before a 30-23 third quarter run of Valmiera. Liepaja/Triobet was plagued by 37 personal fouls down the stretch. American point guard Damier Pitts (177-89, college: Marshall) orchestrated the victory by scoring 25 points and 7 assists. The former international Martins Laksa (200-90) contributed with 24 points and 7 rebounds (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field) for the winners. Pitts is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Valmiera's coach Uvis Helmanis allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. American guard Malcolm Griffin (193-91, college: Fresno Pacific, agency: Promotex) answered with 21 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists and guard Arturs Ausejs (192-90) added 21 points and 5 rebounds in the effort for Liepaja/Triobet. Five Valmiera and four Liepaja/Triobet players scored in double figures. Defending champion maintains second place with 15-8 record having four points less than leader Ventspils. Liepaja/Triobet at the other side keeps the sixth position with 13 games lost. Valmiera will play against Jekabpils (#3) on the road in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Liepaja/Triobet will play against Latvijas Universitate and hopes to get back on the winning track.
