Regular Season Round 16: Kataja - Vilpas 81-92

Date: December 30, 2023
There was a minor upset in Joensuu where one of their biggest challengers Kataja (9-7) was defeated by sixth ranked Vilpas (9-7) 92-81 on Saturday. The guests trailed by 11 points after three quarters before their 30-8 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Worth to mention a great performance of guard Teemu Suokas (188-2001, college: Ball St., agency: Blacktop Management) who helped to win the game recording 18 points and 7 assists and the former international Juho Nenonen (202-1987, agency: Blacktop Management) who added 14 points and 6 rebounds during the contest. Four Vilpas players scored in double figures. Vilpas' coach Jussi Savolainen used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. At the losing side American-Sierra Leonean guard Richaud Pack (192-1992, college: Maryland) responded with 24 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists and Canadian power forward Elijah Lufile (201-1997, college: ORU) produced a double-double by scoring 15 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists. Vilpas moved-up to fourth place, which they share with defeated Kataja. Vilpas will meet at home league's second-placed Nokia in the next round and it may be the game of the week. Kataja will play against Karhubasket and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
