Australian power forward Brock Motum (208-90, college: Washington St.) contributed with 12 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. Four Zalgiris players scored in double figures. Center Vytautas Sarakauskas (205-82) replied with 16 points and 6 rebounds and international guard Mindaugas Girdziunas (188-89) added 16 points in the effort for Neptunas.
