Koks claimed a 43-27 victory over ASK/MSG in the Baltic League on Friday, October 10th. The result keeps the home side fourth in the standings with four points from three games. ASK/MSG remain winless at the bottom of the table with three draws and no losses.
We had called for the home side to win, and the result confirmed that assessment. Koks moved past their recent struggles, which had seen them drop points against Dragunas Klaipeda earlier this month. The away visitors, by then, had not managed to break their draw streak in the league.
The home team's recent form showed a mix of results before this match. They had beaten HK Svieasa 31-28 but lost to Dragunas Klaipeda 26-30. ASK/MSG's run included losses to Polva Serviti and Viljandi, and they had previously faced Tenax Dobele in two separate matches.
Statistics from the game are not available, but the scoreline suggests Koks controlled the tempo. They managed to pull away from an opponent that had been difficult to beat but also hard to break down. The margin of sixteen points reflected a match where one side never really got out of second gear.
The result leaves Koks fourth with four points from three matches. ASK/MSG sit eighth with zero points from three games. The gap between the sides in the table remains significant, and this win extends Koks' unbeaten run in the competition.
