Regular Season Round 2: Kataja Basket - KTP Basket 109-70

Date: October 4, 2017
The game between Joensuun Kataja (1-0) and KTP-Basket (0-3) in Joensuu on Wednesday ended with biggest points difference. Joensuun Kataja outscored guests from Kotka 109-70. The game without a history. Joensuun Kataja led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. Joensuun Kataja made 19-of-25 free shots (76.0 percent) during the game. Joensuun Kataja forced 21 KTP-Basket turnovers. Joensuun Kataja looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists. American swingman Wesley Saunders (196-93, college: Harvard) notched a double-double by scoring 21 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals to lead the effort and the other American import point guard Damier Pitts (177-89, college: Marshall, agency: Inception Sports) supported him with 18 points and 9 assists (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line). Pitts is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Five Joensuun Kataja players scored in double figures. Even 22 points and 9 rebounds by U.S. Virgin Islands guard Deon Edwin (190-92, college: Kent St., agency: Interperformances) did not help to save the game for KTP-Basket. American center Kenneth Simms (206-86, college: Cumberland) added 14 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists for the guests. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Joensuun Kataja will meet Helsinki Seagulls on the road in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. KTP-Basket will play against Espoo United (#4) and hope to win that game.
