Date: February 25, 2013
The game in Siauliai was also worth to mention about. Leader Zalgiris (8-0) played at the court of 6th ranked Siauliai (7-7). Zalgiris defeated Siauliai 78-68. The game was mostly controlled by Zalgiris. Siauliai was better in fourth quarter 24-16. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Zalgiris shot 60.9 percent from the field. Zalgiris outrebounded Siauliai 34-20 including a 28-10 advantage in defensive rebounds. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 21 assists. American center Jeff Foote (212-88, college: Cornell) nailed 13 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists for the winning side and the former international forward Mindaugas Kuzminskas (205-89) accounted for 14 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field). Zalgiris' coach Joan Plaza used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American guard Chase Simon (198-89, college: Detroit Mercy) came up with 19 points and 5 rebounds and guard Laurynas Samenas (192-88) added 17 points respectively for Siauliai in the defeat. Zalgiris have an impressive series of eight victories in a row. Defending champion moved-up to third place. Siauliai lost third consecutive game. They keep the sixth position with seven games lost. They share it with Nevezis. Zalgiris will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Siauliai will play at home against Sakalai (#11) in Vilnius and hopes to get back on the winning track.
