Regular Season Round 23: Rytas - Lietkabelis 81-67

Date: March 9, 2021
Rather expected game when 4th placed Lietkabelis (16-8) lost to second ranked Rytas (18-5) in Vilnius 67-81 on Tuesday. The hosts trailed by 9 points at the halftime before their 45-22 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Rytas dominated on the defensive end, holding Lietkabelis to just 6 points in third quarter. They outrebounded Lietkabelis 40-23 including 25 on the defensive glass. International Arnas Butkevicius (197-92) orchestrated the victory by scoring 14 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field). The former international guard Mindaugas Girdziunas (188-89) contributed with 17 points and 4 assists for the winners. Puerto Rican-American guard Kyle Vinales (185-92, college: CCSU, agency: Network Sports International) answered with 22 points and 6 assists and international forward Gytis Masiulis (206-98) added 14 points and 9 rebounds in the effort for Lietkabelis. Rytas have an impressive series of eleven victories in a row. They maintain second place with 18-5 record behind leader Zalgiris. Lietkabelis at the other side keeps the fourth position with eight games lost. Rytas will face league's leader Zalgiris in Kaunas in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Lietkabelis will play on the road against Juventus in Utena and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
