It was a great evening for the former international Edgaras Ulanovas (199-92) who led his team to a victory scoring 15 points and 7 rebounds. American power forward Tyler Cavanaugh (206-94, college: GWU) helped adding 12 points and 6 rebounds. Zalgiris' coach Jure Zdovc used an eleven-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The best for the losing side was American point guard Josh Newkirk (185-94, college: Indiana) with 22 points and 4 assists and Serbian Aleksandar Aranitovic (195-98) scored 16 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.
