Regular Season Round 33: Neptunas - Lietkabelis 83-73

Date: May 1, 2021
The game between third ranked Lietkabelis (21-12) and seventh ranked Neptunas (13-21) was the most important one in the last round on Saturday night. Lietkabelis was defeated by Neptunas in Klaipeda 83-73. The hosts trailed by 1 point after first quarter, but they rallied back to get the 5-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 83-73. It was a great shooting night for Neptunas especially from behind the arc, where they had solid 52.6 percentage. The former international guard Zygimantas Janavicius (193-89, agency: Interperformances) stepped up and scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists for the winners and the former international forward Deividas Gailius (200-88, agency: Octagon Europe) chipped in 19 points. Neptunas' coach Tomas Gaidamavicius used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The best for the losing side was forward Vytenis Lipkevicius (195-89) with 17 points and 4 assists and guard Margiris Normantas (194-96) scored 14 points and 6 rebounds. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Neptunas have a solid series of four victories in a row. They moved-up to sixth place. Lietkabelis at the other side keeps the third position with 12 games lost. Neptunas are looking forward to face league's second-placed Rytas in Vilnius in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Lietkabelis will play on the road against the league's leader Zalgiris in Kaunas and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
