Regular Season Round 19: Zalgiris - LSU-Baltai 83-62
Date: March 24, 2012
The game had a very big importance for second-ranked Zalgiris as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Zalgiris smashed 6th ranked Baltai Kaunas at home 83-62. The hosts were tied at the half but managed to speed up in last two quarters eventually winning the game. Zalgiris forced 20 Baltai Kaunas turnovers. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. International forward Mindaugas Kuzminskas (205-89) fired a double-double by scoring 18 points and 10 rebounds for the winners. The former international forward Tadas Klimavicius (204-82, agency: Interperformances) chipped in 14 points and 6 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field). Zalgiris' coach Aleksandar Trifunovic felt very confident that he used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The former international swingman Jonas Maciulis (198-85) produced a double-double by scoring 22 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists and guard Edgaras Ulanovas (198-92) added 9 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists respectively for lost side. Zalgiris (17-0) have an impressive series of seventeen victories in a row. As mentioned above they are alone now at the top position. Baltai Kaunas lost third consecutive game. They keep the sixth place with ten games lost. Baltai Kaunas will play next round against Pieno Zvaigzdes trying to get back on the winning streak. Zalgiris will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game.
