Regular Season Round 24: Zalgiris - Nevezis 95-56
Date: March 9, 2014
The game between sixth ranked Zalgiris (11-4) and 9th ranked Nevezis (9-15) in Kaunas ended with biggest points difference. Zalgiris outscored guests from Kedainiai 95-56. The game without a history. Zalgiris led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. They dominated on the defensive end, holding Nevezis to just 7 points in fourth quarter. Zalgiris made 19-of-25 charity shots (76.0 percent) during the game. They outrebounded Nevezis 43-19 including a 30-11 advantage in defensive rebounds. Worth to mention a quality performance of American point guard Justin Dentmon (183-85, college: Washington) who helped to win the game recording 24 points and 5 rebounds (on 9-of-11 shooting from the field) and center Arturas Gudaitis (208-93) who added 9 points and 11 rebounds during the contest. Zalgiris' coach Saulius Stombergas felt very confident that he used 10 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The best for the losing side was guard Gintaras Leonavicius (194-83, agency: Players Group) with 11 points and Tauras Jogela (203-93) scored 10 points. Zalgiris have a solid four-game winning streak. Defending champion moved-up to fourth place. Nevezis at the other side dropped to the eighth position with 15 games lost. They share it with Dzukija. Zalgiris will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Nevezis will play on the road against Lietkabelis (#10) in Panevezys and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
