Date: February 11, 2024
NKL top team - Palanga (28-5) had no problems winning another game. This time they beat fifth ranked Vilkaviskis (16-17) 85-67. Palanga made 19-of-24 charity shots (79.2 percent) during the game. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 21 assists. Palanga brought some defensive toughness making 18 blocks. Worth to mention a quality performance of power forward Karolis Guscikas (206-1992, agency: BIG) who helped to win the game recording 13 points and 7 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field) and Marius Runkauskas (186-1986, agency: BIG) who added 11 points and 4 assists during the contest. Four Palanga players scored in double figures. American power forward Joshua Nurse (208-1997, college: SFC) responded with 12 points and 8 rebounds and point guard Mantvydas Zukauskas (192-1998) scored 9 points. Both coaches tested many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest. Palanga have an impressive 16-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 28-5 record. Vilkaviskis lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the fifth place with 17 games lost. Palanga will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Vilkaviskis will play on the road against Telsiai (#3) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
