It ended at the same time the 13-game winning streak of Lietuvos rytas. It was a very close game until the last quarter, when Neptunas's pressure prevailed and they won that period 33-21 extending their advantage to 13 points. They shot 62.7 percent from the field and made 25-of-26 free shots (96.2 percent) during the game. Neptunas outrebounded Lietuvos rytas 32-15 including a 25-12 advantage in defensive rebounds. It was a great shooting night for Neptunas especially from behind the arc, where they had solid 58.8 percentage. 24 personal fouls committed by Lietuvos rytas helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a great evening for international forward Edgaras Zelionis (207-89) who led his team to a victory scoring 25 points and 6 rebounds. American-Kazakhstan point guard Jerry Johnson (182-82, college: Rider, agency: BeoBasket) helped adding 19 points. International power forward Martynas Echodas (206-97) responded with 14 points and American power forward Travis Peterson (208-85, college: Samford) scored 13 points and 4 assists. Four Lietuvos rytas players scored in double figures. Lietuvos rytas' coach Rimas Kurtinaitis rotated eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Neptunas have a solid series of three victories in a row. They maintain third place with 20-6 record having just three points less than leader Zalgiris. Lietuvos rytas at the other side keeps the second position with five games lost. Neptunas are looking forward to face Juventus (#7) in Utena in the next round. Lietuvos rytas will play on the road against Siauliai (#5) and is hoping to win this game.
