Regular Season Round 8: Zalgiris - Rytas 79-75

Date: November 2, 2025
Second defeat of league's leader Rytas (5-2) against second ranked Zalgiris (6-1) 79-75 was the most important game of the last round. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Rytas. It was a key game for the top position in the league. They outrebounded Rytas 46-34 including 20 on the offensive glass. French point guard Sylvain Francisco (185-1997) orchestrated the victory by scoring 15 points and 5 assists. The former international center Laurynas Birutis (213-1997) contributed with 8 points and 8 rebounds for the winners. Four Zalgiris players scored in double figures. American point guard Jerrick Harding (185-1998, college: Weber St.) replied with 20 points (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) and his fellow American import point guard Jordan Walker (180-1999, college: UAB) added 15 points and 6 assists in the effort for Rytas. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Defending champion keeps a position of league leader. Rytas at the other side dropped to the second place with two games lost. They were replaced at the leadership position by Zalgiris. Rytas will play next round against Jonava trying to make it back to the top of the standings. Zalgiris will try to continue on its current victory against sixth ranked Nevezis in Kedainiai.
