Date: February 8, 2015
Fifth-ranked P.Zvaigzdes (13-11) was very close to win a game against first ranked Zalgiris (24-1) in Kaunas on Sunday. Zalgiris managed to secure only two-point victory 81-79. However their fans expected much easier game. It ended at the same time the seven-game winning streak of P.Zvaigzdes. P.Zvaigzdes trailed by 14 points after 3 quarters before a 27-15 run in the last quarter cut the deficit to 79-81 at the end of the game. Worth to mention a great performance of international center Arturas Gudaitis (208-93) who helped to win the game recording 18 points and 7 rebounds (on 8-of-9 shooting from the field). American James Anderson (198-89, college: Oklahoma St.) contributed with 14 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists for the winners. Power forward Evaldas Kairys (207-90) replied with 15 points and 7 rebounds and forward Laimonas Kisielius (203-85, college: William & Mary) added 19 points in the effort for P.Zvaigzdes. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Zalgiris have an impressive 23-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains first position with 24-1 record. P.Zvaigzdes at the other side keeps the fifth place with 11 games lost. Zalgiris are looking forward to face league's second-placed Neptunas in Klaipeda in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. P.Zvaigzdes will play on the road against Tonybet in Prienai and is hoping to prove to their fans that this time they can win.
