Regular Season Round 20: Valur - IR 102-97

Date: March 16, 2023
No shocking result in a game in Reykjavik where second ranked Valur (16-4) defeated 11th ranked IR (4-16) 102-97 on Thursday. However just five-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. The hosts trailed by 12 points after first quarter, but they rallied back and won the game by 5 points. Valur looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of Argentinian-Italian Pablo Bertone (190-1990, college: FAU, agency: Interperformances) who helped to win the game recording 34 points (!!!), 7 rebounds and 6 assists and the former international forward Kristofer Acox (198-1993, college: Furman) who added 22 points and 11 rebounds during the contest. American forward Taylor Johns (201-1994, college: UC Riverside, agency: Slash Sports) responded with a double-double by scoring 14 points, 23 rebounds and 5 assists and Estonian guard Martin Paasoja (190-1993, agency: Helping Ballers) scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. Both teams had five players each who scored in double figures. Valur have a solid four-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains second position with 16-4 record behind leader Njardvik. IR lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the eleventh place with 16 games lost. They share the position with KR. Valur will meet league's leader Njardvik on the road in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. IR will play against Keflavik (#3) and hope to secure a win.
