Regular Season Round 27: Siauliai - Dzukija 78-62
Date: March 30, 2014
Very expected game when 7th ranked Dzukija (11-17) lost on the road to third ranked Siauliai (14-13) 78-62 on Sunday. The game was mostly controlled by Siauliai. Dzukija managed to win fourth quarter 17-14. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They outrebounded Dzukija 44-29 including a 17-4 advantage in offensive rebounds. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Siauliai made 7 blocks. It was an exceptional evening for forward Arnas Labuckas (203-87) who led the winners with a double-double by scoring 13 points and 10 rebounds. American center Bambale Osby (203-86, college: Maryland) accounted for 10 points and 10 rebounds for the winning side. Osby is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Five Siauliai players scored in double figures. Center Tautvydas Slezas (207-90, agency: Interperformances) came up with a double-double by scoring 12 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists and point guard Eigirdas Zukauskas (201-92) added 11 points respectively for Dzukija in the defeat. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Siauliai have a solid series of three victories in a row. They maintain third place with 14-13 record having ten points less than leader Tonybet. Newly promoted Dzukija dropped to the sixth position with 17 games lost. They share it with Juventus. Siauliai will meet at home Lietuvos rytas (#4) in the next round. Dzukija will play against Lietkabelis and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
