Regular Season Round 25: Rudupis - Juventus 78-74

Date: March 25, 2013
The game had a very big importance for second-ranked Rudupis as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Rudupis defeated 3rd placed Juventus in Prienai 78-74. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Juventus. The hosts started the game with a very strong first quarter 28-14. But Juventus won second period 22-17. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Rudupis made 7 blocks. 25 personal fouls committed by Juventus helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Swingman Gediminas Orelikas (200-90) stepped up and scored 24 points for the winners and forward Arturas Valeika (207-85, college: Midland CC) chipped in 11 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. At the losing side forward Laimonas Kisielius (203-85, college: William & Mary) responded with 21 points and point guard Darius Gvezdauskas (191-88) scored 13 points and 4 assists. Four Juventus players scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. As mentioned above they are at the top of the standings, which they share with Neptunas. Juventus at the other side dropped to the fifth place with eight games lost. Juventus will play next round against Lietkabelis trying to get back on the winning streak. Rudupis will try to continue on its current victory against tenth ranked LSU-Baltai in Kaunas.
