It was a key game for the top position in the league as both teams had the same 1-0 record before this meeting. The game was mostly controlled by Siauliai. Pieno Zvaigzdes managed to win third quarter 13-9. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They outrebounded Pieno Zvaigzdes 44-30 including a 37-18 advantage in defensive rebounds. The best player for the winners was the former international forward Valdas Vasylius (203-83, college: ODU) who had a double-double by scoring 11 points and 11 rebounds. American power forward Denzel Bowles (208-89, college: JMU) chipped in 13 points and 7 rebounds. Forward Lukas Brazdauskis (206-88) produced 15 points and 5 rebounds and American swingman Leroy Nobles (195-87, college: IUPUI) added 17 points respectively for the hosts. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Siauliai keeps a position of league leader, which they share with 3 other teams. Newly promoted Pieno Zvaigzdes dropped to the fifth place with one game lost. They share the position with 3 other teams. Siauliai is looking forward to face bottom-ranked Techasas (#12) in Panevezys in the next round which should be an easy win for them. Pieno Zvaigzdes will play on the road against Zalgiris (#4) in Kaunas and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
