BK “Ogre” (1-2) – BK “Ventspils” (3-0) 76:83 (16:19, 35:39, 52:61)
In a game rich in mutual breakthroughs, BC “Ventspils” deservedly won the third victory in the championship.
“Ogre” started better (12: 5), successfully completed the middle of the second quarter (from 16:22 to 33:27), as well as the middle of the fourth quarter (from 52:63 to 64:63). However, in general, Ventspils residents acted more purposefully, in a coordinated and determined manner, often beating the homeowners in the fight against neutral bombs, attacking a little more accurately from afar (10/30 – 12/27) and better throwing penalties (14/27 – 19/30).
The winners of the third great game in a row for Māris Gulbis – 34 points (3p. 6/7), 7 rebounds and 9 provoked notes, and at the end, Artūrs Ausējs (17 in total) scored very valuable points. Kristaps Mediss scored 12 points.
“Ogrei” Jordan Lions scored 25 points, Uģis Pinete 12, Renārs Magone 11.
“VEF Rīga” (3-0) – “Valmiera Glass VIA” (1-2) 105: 90 (23:14, 47:41, 74:59)

Sunday at 17:30 “University of Latvia” (0-2) – BC “Liepāja” (0-2): Pafbet LAT-EST YouTube
Fight for the first victory.
“University of Latvia” after a slow run (70:85) on a trip in Ventspils did not give the hosts peace until the last minute (85:91). Kārlis Žunds 13.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 6.5 passes, Nikolai Zotov and Reinis Avotiņš 12 points each. Others can also play, but everyone has yet to learn to win.
In the first game, Liepāja players lost the victory against “Ventspils” (91:92), but in Riga they unconditionally capitulated in front of “VEF Rīga” (63: 104). Ilya Gromov (18 + 7.5 atl.) Was effective and efficient, however, his contribution largely depends on the support of partners. Robert Bērziņš plays an average of 13 points.
