Regular Season Round 23: Meresta - Delikatesas 91-88 OT
Date: January 7, 2011
Fifteenth-ranked Delikatesas (6-16) was very close to win a game against second ranked Meresta (17-6) in Pakruojis on Friday. Meresta managed to secure only three-point victory 91-88. However their fans expected much easier game. Delikatesas was trailing by 1 point at halftime but managed to get 7-point lead after three quarters before a 25-18 charge of Meresta, which allowed them to tie the game at the end of regular time. They were better in overtime eventually winning that period 14-11. Power forward Thomas Druktenis (203-78) orchestrated the victory by scoring 23 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists. Guard Tomas Balciunas (186-79) contributed with 22 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals for the winners. Five Meresta players scored in double figures. Meresta's coach Dainius Bertulis used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. Swingman Zilvinas Petraitis (194-88) answered with 38 points (!!!) and 4 assists and forward Juotas Blazys (197-82) added 17 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in the effort for Delikatesas. Meresta has a solid series of four victories in a row. They maintain second place with 17-6 record having three points less than leader Pieno Zvaigzdes. Delikatesas lost fourth consecutive game. They dropped to the twelfth position with 16 games lost. They share it with Puntukas. Meresta are looking forward to face Nafta Universitetas (#7) in Klaipeda in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Delikatesas will play at home against Erelita-KTU (#14) in Kaunas and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
