Regular Season Round 22: Lietuvos rytas - Zalgiris 78-72

Date: January 17, 2016
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked Zalgiris (18-2) in Vilnius on Sunday night. Visitors were defeated by second ranked Lietuvos rytas (17-3) 78-72. It ended at the same time the eight-game winning streak of Zalgiris. It may be a crucial game in the contest for the top position in the league. Zalgiris trailed by 11 points after 3 quarters before a 23-18 run in the last quarter cut the deficit to 72-78 at the end of the game. 29 personal fouls committed by Zalgiris helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American point guard Ken Brown (180-89, college: Philander Smith) scored 12 points and 5 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and international swingman Gediminas Orelikas (199-90) chipped in 14 points during the contest. Five Lietuvos rytas players scored in double figures. At the losing side the former international Paulius Jankunas (205-84) responded with 22 points and 9 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) and Canadian guard Olivier Hanlan (193-93, college: Boston Coll.) scored 13 points and 5 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Lietuvos rytas maintains second position with 17-3 record behind leader Zalgiris. Defending champion Zalgiris still keeps top place with two games lost. Lietuvos rytas are looking forward to face Vytautas (#3) in Prienai in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Zalgiris will play on the road against Nevezis in Kedainiai and is hoping to win this game.
