Seagulls took revenge from KTP-Basket in their home hall.
Men's The basketball league's reigning champion Helsinki Seagulls canceled their only loss of the season when they beat KTP-Basket 101–88 in their home game.

The victory was the thirteenth in a row for the Seagulls. KTP, on the other hand, is going downhill, with its fourth consecutive loss.
In Kisahalli, KTP took the game into the second quarter, until the Seagulls' 13–2 win turned the tide. KTP managed to take the lead at halftime and held steady in the third period as well, but in the last ten the Seagulls gradually increased the difference to a decisive one.
“This wasn't our best game. Kotka made incredibly easy baskets at the beginning and shot nicely later on. It's not always easy to get into the game, and after our recent hard game against the Bears, it was understandable,” said the Seagulls coach Vesa Vertio In Ruuttu's TV interview.
Mar'Qualen Grant and Chuba Ohms formed the Seagulls' power pair with 24 and 22 points. Roydell Brown scored 19 points for KTP.
