Regular Season Round 31: KTU - Palanga 101-78

Date: February 2, 2018
Bottom-ranked KTU managed to get a sixth victory, breaking the series of five consecutive losses on Friday night. This time they outleveled twelfth-ranked Palanga in Kaunas 101-78. It's especially surprising that the victory came too easily and 23-point difference suggests that KTU is in a good shape to leave the bottom place. They made 17-of-22 free shots (77.3 percent) during the game. KTU forced 20 Palanga turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 27 assists comparing to just 14 passes made by Palanga's players. It was a great evening for point guard Matas Sapiega (178-90) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 16 points and 12 assists. Julius Kigas (187-96) helped adding 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Five KTU players scored in double figures. KTU's coach Vytautas Pliauga felt very confident that he used 11 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. At the losing side forward Ignas Dauksys (198-93) responded with 22 points and American power forward Jeffrey Fahnbulleh (200-85) scored 17 points and 7 rebounds. KTU (6-24) moved-up to twelfth place. Palanga lost eighteenth consecutive game. They dropped to the bottom. They share the position with Delikatesas. KTU will meet higher ranked Telsiai (#7) in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Palanga will play against Delikatesas (#13) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
