Regular Season Round 19: Rytas - Zalgiris 67-72

Date: January 23, 2022
An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in Vilnius. First ranked Zalgiris faced their biggest opponent Rytas. Guests from Kaunas (17-1) defeated host Rytas (15-2) 72-67. It ended at the same time the 13-game winning streak of Rytas. The former international Edgaras Ulanovas (199-92) fired 19 points and 8 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) for the winners. The former international point guard Lukas Lekavicius (180-94) chipped in 16 points. Croatian power forward Ivan Buva (207-91) produced 20 points and international Arnas Butkevicius (197-92) added 13 points and 7 rebounds respectively for lost side. Rytas' coach Giedrius Zibenas rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Zalgiris have an impressive series of nine victories in a row. Defending champion maintains first place with 17-1 record. Rytas at the other side keeps the second position with two games lost. Zalgiris are looking forward to face Neptunas (#8) in Klaipeda in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Rytas will play on the road against Lietkabelis (#3) in Panevezys and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
