Regular Season Round 17: Zalgiris - Lietkabelis 93-71

Date: March 4, 2012
No shocking result in a game when leader Zalgiris (15-0) crushed bottom-ranked Lietkabelis (3-15) in Kaunas 93-71 on Sunday. The game was mostly controlled by Zalgiris. Lietkabelis managed to win second period 25-20. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Zalgiris looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. American swingman Sonny Weems (198-86, college: Arkansas) nailed 13 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists for the winning side and the former international forward Tadas Klimavicius (204-82, agency: Interperformances) accounted for 12 points and 6 rebounds. Four Zalgiris players scored in double figures. Guard Sarunas Vasiliauskas (188-89, agency: Alti Sport) came up with 8 points and 8 assists and forward Osvaldas Matulionis (200-91) added 13 points respectively for Lietkabelis in the defeat. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The victory was the fifteenth consecutive win for Zalgiris. Defending champion maintains second place with 15-0 record having six point less than leader Lietuvos rytas. Lietkabelis lost their fourth game in a row. They dropped to the bottom position with 15 games lost. Zalgiris will meet Siauliai (#4) on the road in the next round. Lietkabelis will have a break next round.
