Regular Season Round 20: Juventus - Zalgiris 67-78
Date: February 15, 2023
The game between Top Four teams took place in Utena. 4th ranked host Juventus (13-7) lost to first ranked Zalgiris (17-3) 78-67. Zalgiris made 22-of-25 charity shots (88.0 percent) during the game. The winners were led by the former international center Laurynas Birutis (213-1997) who scored that evening 16 points and 7 rebounds (on 7-of-8 shooting from the field) and Italian Achille Polonara (202-1991) supported him with 6 points and 9 rebounds. Even 23 points and 7 rebounds by American point guard Alex Hamilton (193-1993, college: Louisiana Tech) did not help to save the game for Juventus. His fellow American import center Reggie Lynch (207-1994, college: Minnesota) added 8 points and 7 rebounds for the hosts. Both coaches tested many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Zalgiris maintains first position with 17-3 record. Juventus at the other side keeps the fourth place with seven games lost. Zalgiris will play against Nevezis (#8) in Kedainiai in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Juventus will play on the road against the league's second-placed Rytas (#2) in Vilnius and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
