Regular Season Round 29: Neptunas - Zalgiris 67-65

Date: February 15, 2015
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked Zalgiris (24-2) in Klaipeda on Sunday night. Visitors were edged by second ranked Neptunas (23-3) 67-65. It ended at the same time the 23-game winning streak of Zalgiris. It may be a crucial game in the contest for the top position in the league. The hosts trailed by 1 point at the halftime before their 32-29 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Neptunas forced 20 Zalgiris turnovers. 24 personal fouls committed by Zalgiris helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. The former international forward Deividas Gailius (200-88) stepped up and scored 13 points and 5 rebounds for the winners and guard Martynas Mazeika (192-85, agency: Interperformances) chipped in 10 points. Four Neptunas players scored in double figures. International center Arturas Gudaitis (208-93) responded with 10 points and 6 rebounds and American James Anderson (198-89, college: Oklahoma St.) scored 11 points. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Neptunas have an impressive series of five victories in a row. They maintain second place with 23-3 record behind leader Zalgiris. Defending champion Zalgiris still keeps top position with two games lost. Neptunas are again looking forward to face league's leader Zalgiris in Kaunas in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Zalgiris will have a break next round.
