Second Stage Round 4: Lahti - Kataja 60-76

Date: March 8, 2022
Everything could happen at the game between two tied teams. Both eighth ranked Kataja and 9th ranked Lahti had identical 10-15 record. But Lahti was not able to use a home court advantage and was defeated by the opponent from Joensuu 76-60 on Tuesday night. The guests trailed by 2 points at the halftime before their 44-26 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Kataja forced 21 Lahti turnovers. American players dominated also this game. The winners were led by Christopher McKnight (201-1987, college: Akron) who scored that evening 19 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists and forward Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson (198-1991, college: Temple) supported him with 12 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 7 steals. Four Kataja players scored in double figures. Even 8 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists by forward Chris Clarke (196-1996, college: Texas Tech) did not help to save the game for Lahti. Forward Antonio Ballard (194-1988, college: Miami, OH) added 13 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists for lost side. Kataja maintains eighth position with 11-15 record. Loser Lahti keeps the ninth place with 16 games lost. They share the position with Kobrat. Kataja will meet at home higher ranked Nokia (#7) in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Lahti will play against Kobrat in Lapua and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
