Date: March 29, 2011
There was no surprise in Klaipeda where 10th ranked Sakalai (6-15) was defeated by eighth ranked Neptunas (9-11) 86-76 on Tuesday. Sakalai was tied after three quarters but could not keep up in the last quarter eventually losing the game. Neptunas made 32-of-40 free shots (80.0 percent) during the game. They also forced 22 Sakalai turnovers. Sakalai was plagued by 29 personal fouls down the stretch. The best player for the winners was swingman Mantas Ruikis (198-85) who scored 18 points and 8 rebounds. The former international forward Valdas Vasylius (203-83, college: ODU) chipped in 13 points and 7 rebounds. Five Neptunas players scored in double figures. At the other side the best for losing team was center Edvinas Jezukevicius (207-90) who recorded 13 points and 8 rebounds (went 7 for 7 at the free throw line) and swingman Virginijus Sirvydis (196-73) added 11 points and 6 rebounds respectively. Sakalai's coach Rutenis Paulauskas rotated eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Neptunas have a solid series of three victories in a row. They moved-up to seventh place. Sakalai lost third consecutive game. They dropped to the eleventh position with 15 games lost. Neptunas will face higher ranked Rudupis (#3) in Prienai in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory.
