Regular Season Round 17: Rytas - Lietkabelis 82-77

Date: December 28, 2019
An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in Vilnius. Second ranked Rytas faced 3rd placed Lietkabelis. Host Rytas (11-5) defeated guests from Panevezys (9-6) 82-77. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Lietkabelis. The hosts trailed by 8 points at the halftime before their 25-10 charge in the third quarter, which allowed them to win the game. The best player for the winners was Mexican guard Francisco Cruz (191-89, college: Wyoming) who scored 24 points and 6 assists. International forward Eimantas Bendzius (203-90) chipped in 19 points. Rytas' coach Dainius Adomaitis used an eleven-player rotation in such tough game. Swingman Tomas Dimsa (198-94) produced 16 points and 8 assists and forward Vytenis Lipkevicius (196-89) added 10 points and 6 rebounds respectively for the guests. Rytas have a solid series of four victories in a row. They maintain second place with 11-5 record having five points less than leader Zalgiris. Lietkabelis at the other side keeps the third position with six games lost. Rytas are looking forward to face Nevezis (#8) in Kedainiai in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Lietkabelis will play at home against the league's leader Zalgiris (#1) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
