Regular Season Round 16: Perkunas - Zalgiris 72-123

Date: February 15, 2023
Not a big story in a game when 9th ranked Perkunas (4-12) was outscored by sixth ranked Zalgiris (9-6) in Kaunas 123-72 on Wednesday. The game without a history. Zalgiris led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. They dominated down low during the game scoring 66 of its points in the paint compared to Perkunas' 36. They outrebounded Perkunas 60-28 including a 21-9 advantage in offensive rebounds. Zalgiris looked well-organized offensively handing out 38 assists comparing to just 8 passes made by Perkunas' players. The winners were led by center Mantas Kocanas (207-2005) who had that evening a double-double by scoring 27 points and 13 rebounds (on 11-of-13 shooting from the field) and forward Vytautas Zygas (196-2005) supported him with 20 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Five Zalgiris players scored in double figures. Zalgiris' coach Remigijus Bardauskas felt very confident that he used 11 players and allowed the starting five to rest. Even 31 points and 5 rebounds by Martynas Mejaras (-2005) did not help to save the game for Perkunas. Justas Stasaitis (-2005) added 13 points for lost side. Zalgiris moved-up to fifth place. Perkunas lost fifth consecutive game. They keep the ninth position with 12 games lost. Zalgiris' supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Kaunas Zalgiris II.
