Regular Season Round 30: Lietuvos rytas - Mazeikiai 76-70

Date: February 28, 2015
No shocking result in a game in Vilnius where third ranked Lietuvos rytas (22-4) defeated bottom-ranked Mazeikiai (2-27) 76-70 on Saturday. However just six-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But Mazeikiai won third quarter 23-15. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Lietuvos rytas made 16-of-21 free shots (76.2 percent) during the game. The former international center Antanas Kavaliauskas (208-84, college: Texas A&M, agency: Interperformances) had a double-double by scoring 17 points and 12 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field) to lead the charge for the winners and the former international guard Martynas Gecevicius (193-88) chipped in 12 points and 5 rebounds during the contest. Lietuvos rytas' coach used a ten-player rotation and allowed the starting five to rest. The best for the losing side was American forward Tyler Olander (208-92, college: Connecticut) with 14 points and 9 rebounds and forward Darius Tarvydas (200-91) scored 17 points (on 8-of-10 shooting from the field). Lietuvos rytas have an impressive six-game winning streak. They maintain third position with 22-4 record having just three points less than leader Zalgiris. Newly promoted Mazeikiai stay dead last with 27 lost games. Lietuvos rytas will meet at home league's leader Zalgiris in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Mazeikiai will play against Tonybet (#9) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
