Four Neptunas players scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Zalgiris have an impressive seven-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains first position with 29-3 record. Loser Neptunas keeps the fourth place with 14 games lost. Zalgiris will meet at home league's second-placed Lietkabelis in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Neptunas will play against Vytautas in Prienai and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
