Date: October 7, 2018
The most crucial game of the last round was the first loss of Rytas (3-1) in Vilnius on Sunday night. Hosts were defeated by Zalgiris (5-0) 76-69. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Rytas. The guests trailed by 11 points after three quarters before their 24-6 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Zalgiris dominated on the defensive end, holding Rytas to just 6 points in fourth quarter. They dominated down low during the game scoring 46 of its points in the paint compared to Rytas' 24. The best player for the winners was American point guard Nate Wolters (193-91, college: S.Dakota St., agency: Pensack Sports) who scored 20 points and 5 rebounds. The former international Marius Grigonis (198-94) chipped in 12 points. Zalgiris' coach Sarunas Jasikevicius used entire bench which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American DJ Seeley (193-89, college: CS Fullerton) produced 22 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists and the other American import swingman Dominique Sutton (198-86, college: N.C.Central) added 8 points and 8 rebounds respectively for the hosts. Zalgiris have an impressive series of five victories in a row. Defending champion maintains first place with 5-0 record. Rytas at the other side dropped to the third position with one game lost. They share it with Lietkabelis. Zalgiris are looking forward to face league's second-placed Neptunas in Klaipeda in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Rytas will play on the road against Dzukija in Alytus and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
