Date: April 25, 2015
LKL round 43 caused change at the leadership position. Fifth defeat of league's leader Lietuvos rytas (35-5) against second ranked Zalgiris (36-4) 82-81 was the most important game of the last round. It ended at the same time the 19-game winning streak of Lietuvos rytas. It was a key game for the top position in the league. The hosts trailed by 6 points after first quarter, but they rallied back to get the 6-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 82-81. Zalgiris made 18-of-22 free shots (81.8 percent) during the game. They also forced 19 Lietuvos rytas turnovers. 24 personal fouls committed by Lietuvos rytas helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Worth to mention a great performance of American James Anderson (198-89, college: Oklahoma St.) who helped to win the game recording 16 points and 5 rebounds. The former international Paulius Jankunas (205-84) contributed with 19 points (made all of his eight free throws) for the winners. The former international guard Martynas Gecevicius (193-88) answered with 14 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists and the former international center Antanas Kavaliauskas (208-84, college: Texas A&M, agency: Interperformances) added 19 points (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) in the effort for Lietuvos rytas. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Zalgiris have an impressive series of twelve victories in a row. Defending champion keeps a position of league leader. Lietuvos rytas at the other side dropped to the second place with five games lost. They were replaced at the leadership position by Zalgiris.
