Regular Season Round 8: Zalgiris - VKKM 83-81

Date: December 2, 2025
There was a surprise result in Kaunas where eleventh ranked Zalgiris (2-6) edged higher ranked VKKM (5-3) 83-81 on Tuesday. VKKM was trailing by 4 points at halftime but managed to get 1-point lead after three quarters before a 23-20 charge of Zalgiris, which allowed them to win the game. They also forced 25 VKKM turnovers. Strangely VKKM outrebounded Zalgiris 49-32 including 36 on the defensive glass. The best player for the winners was Titas Pocevicius who scored 15 points and 4 steals. Adas Adomenas chipped in 13 points and 7 rebounds. Five Zalgiris players scored in double figures. Zalgiris' coach Ramunas Juska used an eleven-player rotation in such tough game. Miron Zakrevskij produced a double-double by scoring 19 points and 15 rebounds and Titas Bakanas added 19 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists respectively for the guests. Zalgiris moved-up to tenth place. Loser VKKM keeps the fourth position with three games lost. Zalgiris will meet league's second-placed VKM in the next round and they do not belong to the favorites in that game. VKKM will play against Tornado KM in Kaunas and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
