Regular Season Round 20: Kouvot - Kataja 75-61
Date: January 3, 2019
The game between closely ranked teams ended with sixth ranked Kouvot's (9-8) home victory over 7th ranked Joensuun Kataja (8-7) in Kouvola 75-61 on Thursday. The game without a history. Kouvot led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. They dominated on the defensive end, holding Joensuun Kataja to just 6 points in second quarter. They outrebounded Joensuun Kataja 52-34 including 37 on the defensive glass. The winners were led by American Brian Asbury (201-86, college: Miami, FL) who had that evening a double-double by scoring 23 points and 10 rebounds and the former international Ville Kaunisto (204-82, agency: Court Side) supported him with 11 points and 16 rebounds. Even 12 points and 6 rebounds by the former international guard Ilari Seppala (188-93, agency: Blacktop Management) did not help to save the game for Joensuun Kataja. American point guard Vincent Simpson (185-88, college: Hampton, agency: Inception Sports) added 11 points and 6 rebounds for the guests. Kouvot have a solid four-game winning streak. They maintain sixth position with 9-8 record. Loser Joensuun Kataja keeps the seventh place with seven games lost. Kouvot will meet league's leader Vilpas in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. Joensuun Kataja will play against Kauhajoki (#4) and hope to secure a win.
