Date: February 27, 2024
Fifth-ranked VKM (10-7) used its home court advantage to challenge first ranked Zalgiris (16-1) in Vilniaus on Tuesday. The visitors from Kaunas managed to secure only two-point victory 80-78. However their fans expected much easier game. The guests trailed by 5 points after three quarters before their 23-16 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Power forward Martynas Kancevicius (204-2006) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 28 points and 21 rebounds. Point guard Nedas Vydmantas (186-2006) contributed with a double-double by scoring 16 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists for the winners. Zalgiris' coach Tomas Bakanauskas used a ten-player rotation in such tough game. Guard Mantas Liutkevicius (185-2007) answered with 23 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists and guard Grantas Strelciunas (185-2007) added 18 points and 12 rebounds in the effort for VKM. Zalgiris have an impressive series of twelve victories in a row. They maintain first place with 16-1 record. VKM at the other side keeps the fifth position with seven games lost. They share it with SKM I. Zalgiris' supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Kaunas Perkunas.
