Regular Season Round 21: Njardvik - Valur 76-101

Date: March 24, 2023
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of Njardvik (17-4) at the home court on Friday night. Hosts were rolled over by Valur (17-4) 101-76. It ended at the same time the ten-game winning streak of Njardvik. It was a key game for the top position in the league. The game was mostly controlled by Valur. Njardvik managed to win second period 31-28. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They made 16-of-21 free shots (76.2 percent) during the game. Valur outrebounded Njardvik 37-26 including a 29-17 advantage in defensive rebounds. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Valur made 7 blocks. It was a good game for the former international forward Kristofer Acox (198-1993, college: Furman) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 25 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks. Argentinian-Italian Pablo Bertone (190-1990, college: FAU, agency: Interperformances) contributed with 19 points and 6 rebounds for the winners. Croatian power forward Mario Matasovic (200-1993, college: Sacred Heart) answered with 15 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists and Argentinian Lisandro Rasio (197-1990) added 12 points and 7 rebounds in the effort for Njardvik. Five Valur and four Njardvik players scored in double figures. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Valur have an impressive series of five victories in a row. Defending champion keeps a position of league leader, which they share with defeated Njardvik. Valur is looking forward to face Tindastoll (#5) in Sauoarkrokur in the next round. Njardvik will play on the road against Keflavik (#3) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
