Date: January 31, 2021
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked Zalgiris (12-2) in Utena on Sunday night. Visitors were edged by fourth ranked Juventus (12-5) 90-87. It ended at the same time the ten-game winning streak of Zalgiris. It may be a crucial game in the contest for the top position in the league. The hosts trailed by 11 points after three quarters before their 25-11 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Power forward Zygimantas Skucas (201-92, agency: BIG) scored 20 points (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field) to lead the charge for the winners and the former international point guard Vaidas Kariniauskas (197-93) chipped in 18 points and 4 assists during the contest. Four Juventus players scored in double figures. The best for the losing side was the former international guard Lukas Lekavicius (180-94) with 13 points and 6 assists and international guard Rokas Jokubaitis (193-0) scored 13 points and 5 assists. Zalgiris' coach Martin Schiller tried various players' combinations and tested in total twelve players in this game, but that didn't help. Juventus have an impressive eight-game winning streak. They moved-up to second place, which they share with Rytas. Defending champion Zalgiris still keeps top position with two games lost. Juventus is looking forward to face Dzukija (#9) in Alytus in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Zalgiris will play on the road against Nevezis (#8) in Kedainiai and is hoping to win this game.
