Despite playing on the road in the MHP Arena, Ventspils held the lead for most of the game. Actually, the Latvian Champions were in front for the entirety of the second half en route for the 99-81 win over Ludwigsburg in Basketball Champions League Regular Season Gameday 12 action.

The visitors finished with 12/27 beyond the arc. Ingus Jakovics was accountable for four of the threes and finished with 21 points. Rihards Lomazs sank three three-pointers for a total of 19 points. The 22-year-old guard also grabbed nine boards and dished six assists for a game-high 29 efficiency ranking.

Kelan Martin poured a team-high 20 points for the Germans. Marcos Knight fouled out with 18 points of his own. Owen Klassen followed with 17 points, also grabbed nine rebounds.

Roberts Stelmahers’ team improved to 5-7 with its second consecutive Group A victory. John Patrick’s club dropped to 3-9 and will be officially eliminated from the playoffs if Nizhny Novgorod beats Le Mans.
