Regular Season Round 15: Nokia - Kataja 123-80

Date: December 28, 2023
The game between Top Four teams took place in Nokia. Second ranked host Nokia (11-4) smashed 3rd placed Kataja (9-6) 123-80. The game without a history. Nokia led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. They dominated down low during the game scoring 86 of its points in the paint compared to Kataja's 44. They outrebounded Kataja 50-29 including a 36-15 advantage in defensive rebounds. Nokia players were unselfish on offense dishing 31 assists. It was an exceptional evening for American forward Both Gach (201-1999, college: Utah) who led the winners with a double-double by scoring 25 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists. His fellow American import guard Tucker Richardson (196, college: Colgate) accounted for 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists for the winning side. Five Nokia players scored in double figures. Nokia's coach Greg Gibson felt very confident that he used 11 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Canadian power forward Elijah Lufile (201-1997, college: ORU) came up with a double-double by scoring 17 points and 10 rebounds and swingman Teemu Knihtinen (194-1998) added 17 points respectively for Kataja in the defeat. Nokia maintains second place with 11-4 record having just three points less than leader Seagulls. Kataja at the other side keeps the third position with six games lost. They share it with Korihait. Nokia will play against Kouvot (#8) in Kouvola in the next round which should be theoretically another easy game. Kataja will play at home against Vilpas (#6) and hopes to get back on the winning track.
