Lietuvos rytas forced 24 Sakalai turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. Sakalai was plagued by 24 personal fouls down the stretch. It was a great evening for international center Jonas Valanciunas (210-92) who led his team to a victory scoring 19 points and 6 rebounds (perfect from the field making all seven shots !!!). The former international guard Renaldas Seibutis (196-85) helped adding 17 points and 5 rebounds. Four Lietuvos rytas players scored in double figures. Lietuvos rytas' coach Aleksandar Dzikic felt very confident that he used entire bench and allowed the starting five to get some rest. Guard Laurynas Samenas (192-88) responded with 20 points and 5 assists and forward Evaldas Baniulis (201-87, college: S.Carolina) scored 12 points and 5 rebounds.
