Regular Season Round 30: Zalgiris - Neptunas 86-90

Date: March 1, 2015
Top ranked Zalgiris (24-3) recorded its third loss in Kaunas on Sunday night. Hosts were defeated by second ranked Neptunas (24-4) 90-86. It may be a crucial game in the contest for the top position in the league. Zalgiris was trailing by 5 points at halftime but managed to get 3-point lead after three quarters before a 27-20 charge of Neptunas, which allowed them to win the game. 30 personal fouls committed by Zalgiris helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. The best player for the winners was the former international forward Deividas Gailius (200-88) who scored 19 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Guard Mindaugas Girdziunas (188-89) chipped in 17 points. Five Neptunas players scored in double figures. At the other side the best for losing team was the former international center Robertas Javtokas (211-80, college: Arizona) who recorded 16 points and 7 rebounds (perfect from the field making all seven shots !!!) and the former international Paulius Jankunas (205-84) added 13 points and 8 rebounds (went 9 for 9 at the free throw line !!!) respectively. Zalgiris' coach Gintaras Krapikas tried various players' combinations and tested in total eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Neptunas maintains second position with 24-4 record having just -1 point less than leader Zalgiris. Defending champion Zalgiris still keeps top place with three games lost. Neptunas are looking forward to face Tonybet (#9) in Prienai in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Zalgiris will play on the road against Lietuvos rytas (#3) in Vilnius and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
