Regular Season Round 4: Rytas - Siauliai 91-78

Date: October 7, 2023
No shocking result in a game when top-ranked Rytas (4-0) beat 7th ranked Siauliai (1-3) in Vilnius 91-78 on Saturday. Rytas dominated down low during the game scoring 58 of its points in the paint compared to Siauliai's 36. Rytas forced 20 Siauliai turnovers. The winners were led by the former international guard Margiris Normantas (194-1996) who scored that evening 21 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals and American guard RJ Cole (182-1999, college: UConn) supported him with 16 points and 4 assists. Four Rytas players scored in double figures. Even 9 points and 11 rebounds by Slovakian center Tomas Pavelka (218-2000) did not help to save the game for Siauliai. Paulius Danusevicius (205-2001) added 15 points for lost side. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Rytas have a solid four-game winning streak. They keep a position of league leader, which they share with 3 other teams. Loser Siauliai keeps the seventh place with three games lost. They share the position with Neptunas. Rytas will meet at home Mazeikiai (#10) in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Siauliai will play against Juventus in Utena and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
