Regular Season Round 23: Lietuvos rytas - Nevezis 98-74
Date: January 3, 2015
Third ranked Lietuvos rytas (16-3) crushed at home 10th ranked Nevezis (3-18) by 24 points 98-74, which is the biggest margin this round on Saturday night. The hosts trailed by 3 points after first quarter, but they stormed back to get the 8-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 98-74. Lietuvos rytas had a 34-18 advantage in offensive rebounds. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 27 assists. Worth to mention a quality performance of swingman Gediminas Orelikas (200-90) who helped to win the game recording 27 points and 9 rebounds. The former international guard Martynas Gecevicius (193-88) helped adding 20 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists. Lietuvos rytas' coach Virginijus Seskus felt very confident that he used 10 players and allowed the starting five to get some rest. American forward Thomas Davis (200-91, college: SW Oklahoma St.) responded with a double-double by scoring 15 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists and forward Rytis Biliartas (200-91) scored 14 points and 5 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field). Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Lietuvos rytas maintains third place with 16-3 record having just two points less than leader Zalgiris. Nevezis lost their fourth game in a row. They keep the tenth position with 18 games lost. Lietuvos rytas will face league's leader Zalgiris in Kaunas in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Nevezis will play on the road against the league's second-placed Neptunas (#2) in Klaipeda and hope to win that game.
