Date: March 12, 2023
The most crucial game of the last round was a loss of top-ranked Zalgiris (18-4) in Kaunas on Sunday night. Hosts were defeated by second ranked Rytas (16-5) 100-94. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Zalgiris. It may be a crucial game in the contest for the top position in the league. Rytas made 21-of-24 free shots (87.5 percent) during the game. They shot the lights out from three sinking 17 long-distance shots on high 63.0 percentage. Rytas looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. 25 personal fouls committed by Zalgiris helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Worth to mention a great performance of the former international guard Margiris Normantas (194-1996) who helped to win the game recording 30 points and 4 assists (perfect from downtown making all six shots !!!). American guard Marcus Foster (191-1995, college: Creighton) contributed with 28 points for the winners. Four Rytas players scored in double figures. The former international point guard Lukas Lekavicius (180-1994) replied with 21 points and Latvian Rolands Smits (207-1995) added 15 points in the effort for Zalgiris. Zalgiris' coach Kazys Maksvytis rotated twelve players in this game, but that didn't help. Defending champion maintains second position with 16-5 record having just three points less than leader Zalgiris. Zalgiris at the other side still keeps top place with four games lost. Rytas are looking forward to face P.Zvaigzdes (#10) in Pasvalys in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Zalgiris will play on the road against Neptunas (#7) in Klaipeda and is hoping to win this game.
