Regular Season Round 33: Rytas - Siauliai 103-96

Date: May 13, 2025
There was no surprise in Vilnius where 7th ranked Siauliai (13-21) was defeated by second ranked Rytas (28-6) 103-96. Strangely Siauliai outrebounded Rytas 33-20 including 23 on the defensive glass. They shot the lights out from three nailing 13 long-distance shots on high 52.0 percentage. Rytas players were unselfish on offense dishing 23 assists. Siauliai was plagued by 27 personal fouls down the stretch. It was a good game for American point guard RJ Cole (182-1999, college: UConn) who led his team to a victory with 20 points and 5 assists. The former international Margiris Normantas (194-1996) contributed with 21 points (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) for the winners. Forward Tauras Jogela (203-1993, agency: Players Group) answered with 22 points and 6 rebounds (perfect behind the arc making all five shots) and American guard Shaq Buchanan (190-1997, college: Murray St.) added 12 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists in the effort for Siauliai. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Rytas have an impressive series of nine victories in a row. Defending champion maintains second place with 28-6 record having four points less than leader Zalgiris. Siauliai lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the seventh position with 21 games lost. Rytas will play against league's leader Zalgiris in Kaunas in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Siauliai will play on the road against Nevezis (#9) in Kedainiai and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
