Date: October 19, 2012
The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of undefeated Latvian Valmiera (2-1) at the home court on Friday night. Hosts were rolled over by Lithuanian Pieno Zvaigzdes (2-0) 100-75. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Valmiera. It was a key game for the top position in the league as both teams had the same 1-0 record before this meeting. The game without a history. Pieno Zvaigzdes led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. They made 22-of-26 free shots (84.6 percent) during the game. American forward Yancy Gates (206-89, college: Cincinnati) orchestrated the victory by scoring 25 points and 9 rebounds. His fellow American import point guard Booker Woodfox (183-86, college: Creighton) contributed with 15 points for the winners. Five Pieno Zvaigzdes players scored in double figures. Pieno Zvaigzdes' coach Nerijus Zabarauskas felt very confident that he used 10 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Forward Janis Berzins (202-93, agency: Players Group) answered with 14 points and 8 rebounds and center Viktors Iljins (212-91) added 12 points and 8 rebounds in the effort for Valmiera. Pieno Zvaigzdes keep a position of league leader, which they share with Lietkabelis. Valmiera at the other side dropped to the second place with one game lost. They share the position with Sakalai. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
