Regular Season Round 9: Lietuvos rytas - ALBA 97-99

Date: December 7, 2016
Important game to mention about took place in Vilnius. Fourth ranked German ALBA Berlin (4-4) saved a 2-point victory on the road edging second-best Lithuanian Lietuvos rytas (3-4) 99-97 in the game for the second place. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Lietuvos rytas. It was a key game for the second position in Group B. Lietuvos rytas were ahead by 5 points after three quarters before a 32-25 charge of ALBA Berlin, which allowed them to win the game. They made 16-of-20 charity shots (80.0 percent) during the game. It was a great shooting night for ALBA Berlin especially from behind the arc, where they had solid 52.9 percentage. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 21 assists. Bosnian center Elmedin Kikanovic (211-88, agency: BeoBasket) nailed 29 points for the winning side and Serbian swingman Dragan Milosavljevic (198-89) accounted for 19 points and 5 assists. American forward Drew Gordon (205-90, college: N.Mexico) came up with a double-double by scoring 12 points and 10 rebounds and Rokas Giedraitis (198-92) added 16 points (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field) respectively for Lietuvos rytas in the defeat. Four ALBA Berlin and five Lietuvos rytas players scored in double figures. Both coaches tested many bench players in such tough game. ALBA Berlin moved-up to second place in Group B. Lietuvos rytas at the other side dropped to the third position with four games lost. They share it with RETAbet BB and Fuenlabrada. ALBA Berlin will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Lietuvos rytas will play on the road against Baloncesto Fuenlabrada in Madrid and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
