Second Stage Round 8: Nokia - Kataja 97-88

Date: March 22, 2024
Not a big story in a game when 5th ranked Kataja (17-14) was defeated on the road by second ranked Nokia (20-10) 97-88. The hosts were already 18 points ahead after 3 quarters before a 24-15 Kataja's run in the last quarter cut the lead to 97-88 at the end of the game. Nokia dominated down low during the game scoring 66 of its points in the paint compared to Kataja's 36 and made 16-of-20 charity shots (80.0 percent) during the game. Nokia players were unselfish on offense dishing 21 assists. The winners were led by American guard Tucker Richardson (196, college: Colgate) who scored that evening 28 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists and the other American import point guard Kahron Ross (180-1995, college: Lehigh, agency: One Motive Sports) supported him with 16 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals. Even 18 points and 9 rebounds by American-Nigerian Amanze Egekeze (203-1995, college: Belmont, agency: SLN) did not help to save the game for Kataja. American point guard Grant Singleton (183-2000, college: FDU, agency: Octagon Europe) added 18 points and 5 assists for the guests. Five Nokia and four Kataja players scored in double figures. Nokia maintains second position with 20-10 record having just two point less than leader Seagulls. Kataja at the other side keeps the fifth place with 14 games lost. They share the position with Karhubasket. Nokia will play against Korihait (#3) in Uusikaupunki in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Kataja will have a break next round.
