Regular Season Round 2: Neptunas - Zalgiris 73-64

Date: September 28, 2017
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of Zalgiris (3-1) in Klaipeda on Thursday night. Visitors were defeated by Neptunas (4-0) 73-64. Neptunas forced 30 Zalgiris turnovers. Strangely Zalgiris outrebounded Neptunas 111-84 including a 43-31 advantage in offensive rebounds. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 41 assists. 53 personal fouls committed by Zalgiris helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Colombian-Spanish power forward Juan Palacios (206-85) scored 15 points and 6 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and Arnas Butkevicius (197-92) chipped in 14 points and 6 rebounds during the contest. Four Neptunas players scored in double figures. American center Brandon Davies (208-91, college: BYU, agency: BeoBasket) responded with a double-double by scoring 11 points and 14 rebounds and international guard Edgaras Ulanovas (197-92) scored 13 points and 6 rebounds. Zalgiris' coach Sarunas Jasikevicius rotated twelve players in this game, but that didn't help. Neptunas is looking forward to face Juventus (#9) in Utena in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Zalgiris will play on the road against Lietuvos rytas (#3) in Vilnius and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
