Regular Season Round 11: Zalgiris - Lietuvos rytas 63-65

Date: December 10, 2017
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked Zalgiris (12-2) in Kaunas on Sunday night. Hosts were edged by fourth ranked Lietuvos rytas (10-4) 65-63. It ended at the same time the ten-game winning streak of Zalgiris. Zalgiris was trailing by 1 point at halftime but managed to get 3-point lead after three quarters before a 17-12 charge of Lietuvos rytas, which allowed them to win the game. It was a great evening for power forward Martynas Echodas (206-97) who led his team to a victory scoring 14 points, 6 rebounds and 4 blocks. American power forward Travis Peterson (208-85, college: Samford) helped adding 17 points. Four Lietuvos rytas players scored in double figures. The former international Paulius Jankunas (205-84) responded with 18 points and 8 rebounds and Serbian point guard Vasilije Micic (196-94, agency: BeoBasket) scored 12 points and 5 assists. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Lietuvos rytas moved-up to third place, which they share with Lietkabelis. Defending champion Zalgiris still keeps top position with two games lost. Lietuvos rytas is looking forward to face Siauliai (#9) at home in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Zalgiris will play against Vytautas (#7) in Prienai and is hoping to win this game.
