FINAL

Ventspils - VEF Riga 81-59

Ventspils celebrated the LBL title. They edged VEF Riga at home court to win the championship series 4-1. The success marked the ninth Latvian title for Ventspils. Ventspils led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. They dominated down low during the game scoring 40 of its points in the paint compared to VEF Riga's 18. They outrebounded VEF Riga 39-26 including a 31-18 advantage in defensive rebounds. 25 personal fouls committed by VEF Riga helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. International Janis Timma (201-92) stepped up and scored 16 points and 8 rebounds for the winners and the former international forward Akselis Vairogs (195-85, agency: Players Group) chipped in 18 points and 7 rebounds (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field). Four Ventspils players scored in double figures. The former international forward Kristaps Janicenoks (196-83) responded with 15 points and American forward Antywane Robinson (203-84, college: Temple, agency: Priority Sports) scored 12 points and 5 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games.
