Second Stage Round 8: Kataja - Kouvot 112-88

Date: March 10, 2026
Rather expected game when 11th ranked Kouvot (10-20) was smashed by eighth ranked Kataja (15-15) in Joensuu 112-88 on Tuesday. Kataja made 20-of-23 free shots (87.0 percent) during the game. Kataja outrebounded Kouvot 43-24 including a 30-16 advantage in defensive rebounds. Kataja looked well-organized offensively handing out 25 assists. The winners were led by American guard DeVion Harmon (188-2001, college: Texas Tech) who scored that evening 30 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists and international Henri Kantonen (198-1997, agency: Blacktop Management) supported him with 13 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists. Kataja's coach Petri Virtanen felt very confident that he used 11 players and allowed the starting five to rest. Even 23 points and 5 assists by American guard Brandon Stroud (198-2002, college: S.Florida) did not help to save the game for Kouvot. His fellow American import Devontae Blanton (198-2001, college: EKU) added 17 points for the guests. Both teams had five players each who scored in double figures. Kataja maintains eighth position with 15-15 record. Loser Kouvot keeps the eleventh place with 20 games lost. Kataja will meet Bisons (#10) in the next round. Kouvot will play against Pyrinto in Tampere and hope to secure a win.
