Regular Season Round 19: Sakalai - Juventus 62-82
Date: February 2, 2013
There was no surprise in Vilnius where 11th ranked Sakalai (3-11) was crushed by sixth ranked Juventus (7-6) 82-62. The game was mostly controlled by Juventus. Sakalai was better in fourth quarter 14-10. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Juventus dominated down low during the game scoring 58 of its points in the paint compared to Sakalai's 38. Worth to mention a great performance of forward Nerijus Varnelis (201-78) who helped to win the game recording 21 points and 9 rebounds (on 10-of-13 shooting from the field). Guard Arvydas Cepulis (197-79) contributed with 21 points for the winners. Jokubas Gintvainis (191-94) answered with 17 points and 8 assists and swingman Zygimantas Sestokas (196-86, college: Hofstra, agency: Players Group) added 15 points and 5 rebounds in the effort for Sakalai. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Juventus moved-up to fifth place, which they share with Pieno Zvaigzdes. Sakalai lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the eleventh position with 11 games lost. Juventus will play against bottom-ranked Naglis Palangos (#12) in Palanga in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Sakalai will play at home against LSU-Baltai in Kaunas and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
