Regular Season Round 6: Lietuvos rytas - Siauliai 103-74
Date: November 9, 2011
LKL round 6 caused change at the leadership position. First defeat of league's leader Siauliai (6-1) against top-ranked Lietuvos rytas 103-74 was the most important game of the last round. It ended at the same time the six-game winning streak of Siauliai. It was a key game for the top position in the league. The game was mostly controlled by Lietuvos rytas. Siauliai managed to win second period 28-23. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Lietuvos rytas shot 62.3 percent from the field. They also forced 20 Siauliai turnovers. They shot the lights out from three sinking 13 long-distance shots on high 54.2 percentage. Lietuvos rytas looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. It was a good game for international center Jonas Valanciunas (210-92) who led his team to a victory with 22 points and 5 rebounds (on 8-of-9 shooting from the field). American point guard Tyrese Rice (185-87, college: Boston Coll., agency: Priority Sports) contributed with 23 points and 4 assists for the winners. Five Lietuvos rytas players scored in double figures. The former international forward Mindaugas Zukauskas (201-75) replied with 14 points and American guard Cam Long (193-88, college: George Mason) added 11 points in the effort for Siauliai. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Lietuvos rytas have an impressive seven-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 7-0 record. Siauliai at the other side dropped to the second place with one game lost. They were replaced at the leadership position by Lietuvos rytas. Siauliai will have a break next week, which should allow them to rest and make it back to the top of the standings. Lietuvos rytas will try to continue on its current victory against eleventh ranked Techasas in Panevezys.
