Five Zalgiris and four Saule players scored in double figures. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Zalgiris have an impressive series of six victories in a row. They moved-up to fourth place. Saule at the other side dropped to the fifth position with six games lost.
