Regular Season Round 4: Lahti - Kataja 78-96

Date: October 15, 2022
There was a surprise result when tenth ranked Kataja (1-1) won against on the road higher ranked Lahti (2-1) 96-78 on Saturday. The game was mostly controlled by Kataja. Lahti managed to win fourth quarter 31-20. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 27 assists. The winners were led by the former international point guard Tuomas Hirvonen (181-1996) who had that evening a double-double by scoring 18 points and 11 assists and American forward Galin Smith (206-1998, college: Maryland) supported him with 17 points and 5 rebounds (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field). Four Kataja players scored in double figures. Even 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists by American guard Michael Ertel II (188-1999, college: UAB) did not help to save the game for Lahti. His fellow American import forward Karl Gamble (206-1996, college: MTSU, agency: Players Group) added 19 points and 9 rebounds for lost side. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Kataja left bottom position moving up to sixth place. Loser Lahti dropped to the fourth position with one game lost. Kataja will meet at home bottom-ranked Vilpas (#12) in the next round where they are favorite. Lahti will play against Korihait (#11) and hope to secure a win.
