Regular Season Round 19: Juventus - Siauliai 96-67
Date: January 20, 2019
Sixth ranked Juventus (8-11) crushed at home 10th ranked Siauliai (3-16) by 29 points 96-67, which is the biggest margin this round. The game was mostly controlled by Juventus. Siauliai was better in fourth quarter 25-21. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Juventus dominated down low during the game scoring 54 of its points in the paint compared to Siauliai's 30 and made 21-of-24 charity shots (87.5 percent) during the game. They outrebounded Siauliai 45-30 including a 34-21 advantage in defensive rebounds. Juventus players were unselfish on offense dishing 21 assists. They brought some defensive toughness making 8 blocks. Worth to mention a great performance of international center Martinas Geben (208-94, college: Notre Dame) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 16 points and 10 rebounds. Center Karolis Guscikas (205-92, agency: Octagon Europe) contributed with 11 points and 9 rebounds for the winners. Five Juventus players scored in double figures. American-Liberian point guard Saah Nimley (173-93, college: Charleston So., agency: Blacktop Management) answered with 20 points and American forward Cedrick Bowen (198-92, college: Charleston So.) added 14 points in the effort for Siauliai. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Juventus maintains sixth place with 8-11 record. Siauliai at the other side stay at the bottom position with 16 games lost. Juventus' next round opponent will be league's leader Zalgiris in Kaunas and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Siauliai will play at home against the league's second-placed Neptunas (#2) and hope to win that game.
