Regular Season Round 11: Zalgiris - NKA 97-62

Date: January 6, 2026
Not a big story in a game in Kaunas where 11th ranked NKA (1-10) was rolled over by ninth ranked Zalgiris (4-7) 97-62 on Tuesday. The hosts trailed by 7 points after first quarter, but they stormed back to get the 6-point lead at the halftime and eventually won the game 97-62. Zalgiris forced 31 NKA turnovers and outrebounded them 52-38 including a 23-9 advantage in offensive rebounds. Zalgiris looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists comparing to just 6 passes made by NKA's players. The best player for the winners was Titas Pocevicius who scored 23 points (on 9-of-10 shooting from the field). Majus Simanavicius chipped in 16 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Four Zalgiris players scored in double figures. Matas Vaicys produced 13 points and 7 rebounds and Tomas Ciuplys added 10 points and 9 rebounds respectively for the guests. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Zalgiris maintains ninth place with 4-7 record. NKA lost their sixth game in a row. They keep the eleventh position with ten games lost. They share it with Zalgiris II. They will meet higher ranked VKM-2 (#6) in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. NKA will have a break next round.
