Regular Season Day 20: Liepaja - Ventspils 82-89

Date: February 18, 2026
One of the most interesting games of round 20 was a derby match between two teams from Latvia. Seventh ranked Ventspils won against host Liepaja (4-19) 89-82. Ventspils made 16-of-20 charity shots (80.0 percent) during the game. Liepaja was plagued by 24 personal fouls down the stretch. The winners were led by American guard Cameron Shelton (188-1999, college: LMU) who scored that evening 21 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists and Arturs Ausejs (192-1990) supported him with 23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Even 11 points and 9 rebounds by forward Kristians Feierbergs (203-2002, college: FSC) did not help to save the game for Liepaja. point guard Emils Krumins (185-2001) added 10 points and 8 assists for the hosts. Four Liepaja players scored in double figures. Liepaja's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Ventspils (16-7) moved-up to sixth place. Liepaja lost fifth consecutive game. They keep the twelfth position with 19 games lost. Ventspils will play against bottom-ranked Keila C. (#14) at home in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Liepaja will play against Viimsi and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
