Regular Season Round 25: Rytas - Siauliai 100-96
Date: March 16, 2019
Very expected game in Vilnius where 9th ranked Siauliai (5-20) was defeated by third ranked Rytas (18-6) 100-96. However just four-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. The hosts were tied after three quarters but managed to speed up in last quarter eventually winning the game. Rytas made 19-of-25 charity shots (76.0 percent) during the game. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 22 assists. Rytas brought some defensive toughness making 8 blocks. Worth to mention a great performance of international guard Mindaugas Girdziunas (188-89) who helped to win the game recording 37 points (!!!). International power forward Martynas Echodas (206-97) contributed with 18 points and 7 rebounds for the winners. Rytas' coach Dainius Adomaitis allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. Power forward Antanas Udras (203-92, agency: Octagon Europe) answered with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists and Ignas Vaitkus (196-93, agency: Octagon Europe) added 16 points and 7 rebounds in the effort for Siauliai. Four Rytas and five Siauliai players scored in double figures. Rytas maintains third place with 18-6 record having five points less than leader Zalgiris. Siauliai at the other side keeps the ninth position with 20 games lost. Rytas' next round opponent will be Prienu Skycop (#7) in Prienai. Siauliai will play at home against the league's leader Zalgiris and hope to win that game.
