Regular Season Round 27: Zalgiris - Lietkabelis 85-63
Date: March 31, 2019
An interesting game for Zalgiris (24-3) which hosted in Kaunas 4th placed Lietkabelis (16-11). First ranked Zalgiris had an easy win 85-63. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Lietkabelis. It was a very close game until the last quarter, when Zalgiris's pressure prevailed and they won that period 30-14 extending their advantage to 22 points. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 22 assists. It was a great evening for American forward Deon Thompson (203-88, college: UNC, agency: BeoBasket) who led his team to a victory scoring 14 points and 6 rebounds. The former international Arturas Milaknis (195-86) helped adding 20 points. The best for the losing side was Nigerian guard Ike Iroegbu (188-95, college: WSU) with 19 points and Paulius Valinskas (190-95) scored 11 points. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Zalgiris have a solid series of four victories in a row. Defending champion maintains first place with 24-3 record. Lietkabelis at the other side keeps the fourth position with 11 games lost. They share it with P.Zvaigzdes. Zalgiris will play against Siauliai (#9) at home in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Lietkabelis will play against Juventus (#6) in Utena and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
