Regular Season Round 2: Juventus - Neptunas 93-88
Date: September 29, 2012
No shocking result in a game when top-ranked Juventus (1-0) beat bottom-ranked Neptunas (0-2) in Utena 93-88. Neptunas was ahead by 4 points after three quarters before a 29-20 charge of Juventus, which allowed them to win the game. Neptunas was plagued by 28 personal fouls down the stretch. Forward Paulius Morkeliunas (201-85, college: LIU Brooklyn) scored 25 points and 6 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and forward Nerijus Varnelis (201-78) chipped in 13 points and 6 rebounds during the contest. Russian forward Nikita Barinov (202-91) responded with 19 points (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field) and international forward Deividas Gailius (200-88) scored 18 points. Neptunas' coach Kazys Maksvytis tried various players' combinations and tested in total eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Juventus left bottom position moving up to second place, which they share with 5 other teams. Neptunas at the other side still closes the standings with two games lost. They share the position with Sakalai and Naglis Palangos. Juventus will play against Zalgiris (#7) in Kaunas in the next round where they are favorite. Neptunas will play at home against Lietkabelis in Panevezys and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
