Regular Season Round 30: Zalgiris - Dzukija 74-67
Date: April 18, 2014
Rather expected game when 9th ranked Dzukija (11-21) lost to sixth ranked Zalgiris (14-5) in Kaunas 67-74 on Friday. The hosts trailed by 7 points after three quarters before their 23-9 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Zalgiris made 22-of-27 free shots (81.5 percent) during the game. Zalgiris outrebounded Dzukija 35-23 including 26 on the defensive glass. 25 personal fouls committed by Dzukija helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a good game for American point guard Justin Dentmon (183-85, college: Washington) who led his team to a victory with 16 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists. The former international center Robertas Javtokas (210-80, college: Arizona) contributed with 15 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners. Four Zalgiris players scored in double figures. Zalgiris' coach Gintaras Krapikas used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Guard Paulius Dambrauskas (195-91) replied with 27 points and 4 assists (went 7 for 7 at the free throw line) and Martynas Paliukenas (195-93) added 11 points and 6 assists in the effort for Dzukija. Defending champion moved-up to fifth place. Dzukija lost sixth consecutive game. Newly promoted team keeps the ninth position with 21 games lost. Zalgiris will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Dzukija will play on the road against the league's leader Tonybet (#1) in Prienai and is hoping to prove to their fans that they can break losing series.
