Regular Season Round 8: Zalgiris - Alytaus 83-66

Date: December 5, 2023
Bottom-ranked Alytaus (0-7) tried to put together a comeback for its first victory of the season, but they fell short in the 83-66 loss to third ranked Zalgiris (7-1) in Kaunas on Tuesday evening. But it was rather predictable considering how strong their opponent was. The game without a history. Zalgiris led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. Zalgiris outrebounded Alytaus 54-31 including a 33-19 advantage in defensive rebounds. Worth to mention a great performance of power forward Martynas Kancevicius (204-2006) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 18 points and 17 rebounds and guard Irmantas Grikselis (191-2006) who added 10 points and 6 rebounds during the contest. Zalgiris' coach Tomas Bakanauskas used an eleven-player rotation and allowed the starting five to rest. Matas Gavenauskas responded with 21 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 steals and Vilius Simelevicius scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. Zalgiris have a solid three-game winning streak. They moved-up to second place. Loser Alytaus still closes the standings with seven games lost. Zalgiris will meet SKM I (#7) in the next round where they are favorite. Alytaus will play against Gargzdu SM (#8) and looks forward to get finally their first victory.
