Regular Season Round 19: Rudupis - Zalgiris 71-88

Date: March 25, 2012
An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in Prienai. Leader Zalgiris faced 3rd placed Rudupis. Guests from Kaunas (17-0) defeated host Rudupis (15-5) 88-71. The game was mostly controlled by Zalgiris. Rudupis was better in fourth quarter 18-16. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Worth to mention a great performance of the former international forward Paulius Jankunas (205-84, agency: Interperformances) who helped to win the game recording 25 points and 7 rebounds (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field). The former international guard Mantas Kalnietis (196-86, agency: Interperformances) contributed with 10 points and 4 assists for the winners. Four Zalgiris players scored in double figures. Zalgiris' coach Aleksandar Trifunovic let to play all 12 players and allowed the starting five to rest. Valdas Dabkus (204-84) answered with 16 points and 6 rebounds and forward Arnas Labuckas (205-87, agency: Interperformances) added 15 points in the effort for Rudupis. The victory was the seventeenth consecutive win for Zalgiris. Defending champion keeps a position of league leader. Rudupis at the other side keeps the third place with five games lost. Zalgiris will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Rudupis will play on the road against the league's second-placed Lietuvos rytas in Vilnius and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
