Regular Season Round 14: Valur - Hottur 102-94

Date: January 19, 2018
Bottom-ranked Hottur (0-14) tried to put together a comeback for its first victory of the season, but they fell short in the 102-94 loss to tenth ranked Valur (5-9) in Reykjavik. It looked good early as Hottur took a 4-point small lead at the end of first quarter. But then Valur had a 25-15 second period charge getting the lead and Hottur was not able to take back game control losing it eventually 94-102. Valur dominated down low during the game scoring 70 of its points in the paint compared to Hottur's 44. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 24 assists. 24 personal fouls committed by Hottur helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American forward Urald King (198-90, college: SE Oklahoma) notched a double-double by scoring 40 points (!!!) and 15 rebounds to lead the effort and naturalized American guard Austin Bracey (190-90) supported him with 31 points and 6 rebounds. Valur's coach Agust Bjorgvinsson allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. Even 31 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 steals by American guard Kelvin Lewis (195-88, college: Houston) did not help to save the game for Hottur. The former international forward Mirko Virijevic (201-81, college: Freed-Hardeman, agency: Athleadz) added 24 points and 13 rebounds for the guests. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Valur moved-up to ninth place, which they share with Thor Thorl. Hottur at the other side, also newcomer in the league, still closes the standings with 14 games lost. Valur's supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Reykjavik to the arena KR.
