Date: January 2, 2018
The game between closely ranked teams ended with 9th ranked Vytautas' (4-13) road loss to eighth ranked Siauliai (6-11) 73-79 on Tuesday. Vytautas trailed by 15 points at halftime and as many as 17 after three quarters before a 31-20 last quarter charge cut the deficit to 73-79 at the end of the game. Siauliai outrebounded Vytautas 46-30 including a 32-19 advantage in defensive rebounds. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. The best player for the winners was power forward Arminas Urbutis (206-86, college: Hofstra, agency: Octagon Europe) who scored 18 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. International power forward Laurynas Birutis (213-97) chipped in 20 points and 7 rebounds (on 9-of-11 shooting from the field). Siauliai's coach Antanas Sireika allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. Power forward Regimantas Miniotas (206-96) produced 16 points and 9 rebounds and forward Justas Sinica (203-85) added 14 points and 6 rebounds (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) respectively for the guests. Four Vytautas players scored in double figures. Siauliai moved-up to fifth place, which they share with 3 other teams. Vytautas lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the ninth position with 13 games lost. Siauliai will meet league's second-placed Neptunas in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Vytautas will play against Lietuvos rytas (#3) in Vilnius and hope to secure a win.
