The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Zalgiris have an impressive 11-game winning streak. Defending champion moved-up to second place. Sakalai lost fifth consecutive game. They keep the tenth position with 11 games lost. Zalgiris' next round opponent will be bottom-ranked Naglis Palangos (#12) in Palanga and are hoping to win another game. Sakalai will play on the road against Rudupis in Prienai.
