Regular Season Round 4: Juventus - Neptunas 79-76

Date: October 8, 2015
Important game to mention about took place in Utena. Sixth ranked Juventus (2-1) saved a 3-point victory at home edging one of their biggest challengers Neptunas (2-1) 79-76 in the fight for the third place. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Neptunas. The hosts were already 14 points ahead after 3 quarters before a 25-14 Neptunas' run in the last quarter cut the lead to 79-76 at the end of the game. They outrebounded Neptunas 37-22 including 24 on the defensive glass. Neptunas was plagued by 27 personal fouls down the stretch. The winners were led by international power forward Egidijus Dimsa (204-85) who scored that evening 17 points and 8 rebounds and naturalized Swiss guard Rolandas Alijevas (192-85, agency: Stanislav Ryzhov) supported him with 15 points and 6 assists. Four Juventus players scored in double figures. Even 21 points by forward Donatas Zavackas (203-80, college: Pittsburgh) did not help to save the game for Neptunas. American power forward Jerai Grant (203-89, college: Clemson) added 15 points and 9 rebounds for lost side. Neptunas' coach Dainius Adomaitis rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Juventus moved-up to third place, which they share with 3 other teams including defeated Neptunas. Juventus will play against league's leader Lietuvos rytas in Vilnius in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Neptunas will play on the road against the league's second-placed Zalgiris in Kaunas and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
