Regular Season Round 20: Seagulls - Kataja 63-85

Date: January 4, 2019
The game in Helsinki supposed to be also quite interesting. Seventh ranked Joensuun Kataja (8-7) played at the court of 8th ranked Helsinki Seagulls (7-10). Joensuun Kataja smashed Helsinki Seagulls 85-63 on Friday. The game without a history. Joensuun Kataja led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. Joensuun Kataja looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. The winners were led by international Topias Palmi (194-94, agency: Blacktop Management) who scored that evening 22 points and 9 rebounds and Canadian-Jamaican guard Daniel Mullings (189-91, college: N.Mexico St.) supported him with 14 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals. Four Joensuun Kataja players scored in double figures. Even 14 points and 7 rebounds by American-Puerto Rican forward Christopher Ortiz (203-93, college: Kent St., agency: Inception Sports) did not help to save the game for Helsinki Seagulls. International Tuukka Kotti (205-81, college: Providence) added 2 points and 15 rebounds for the hosts. 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 maintains seventh position with 8-7 record. Loser Helsinki Seagulls keeps the eighth place with ten games lost. Joensuun Kataja will meet at home higher ranked Kauhajoki (#4) in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Helsinki Seagulls will play against BC Nokia (#5) and hope to secure a win.
