Regular Season Round 13: Zalgiris - Nevezis 102-98

Date: December 10, 2023
Very expected game when 11th ranked Nevezis (2-11) lost to third ranked Zalgiris (11-2) in Kaunas 98-102 on Sunday. However just four-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. Zalgiris made 23-of-29 free shots (79.3 percent) during the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. The former international center Laurynas Birutis (213-1997) nailed 10 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists for the winning side and Latvian Rolands Smits (208-1995) accounted for 17 points (made all of his seven free throws). Zalgiris' coach Kazys Maksvytis used an eleven-player rotation in such tough game. American forward Zane Waterman (203-1995, college: Manhattan) came up with 31 points (on 12-of-14 shooting from the field) and the other American import guard Sean McNeil (193-1998, college: Ohio St.) added 29 points respectively for Nevezis in the defeat. Five Zalgiris and four Nevezis players scored in double figures. Defending champion keeps a position of league leader, which they share with Rytas and Wolves. Loser Nevezis keeps the eleventh place with 11 games lost. They share the position with Siauliai. Zalgiris will meet at home league's leader Wolves in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Nevezis will play against Lietkabelis (#4) and hope to secure a win.
