Regular Season Round 29: Palanga - Neptunas-Akv. 56-77

Date: January 22, 2026
Not a big story in a game when 14th ranked Palanga (11-16) was rolled over at home by ninth ranked Neptunas-Akv. (13-13) 77-56 on Thursday. The best player for the winners was power forward Eimantas Zilius (200-1999, agency: Bell Basketball) who had a double-double by scoring 27 points and 13 rebounds (on 10-of-13 shooting from the field). Guard Ernestas Jonkus (187-1999, agency: BIG) chipped in 13 points and 5 assists. Center Laurynas Mikalauskas (205-1985, college: Virginia) produced 15 points and 7 rebounds and American Troy Barnies (201-1989, college: Maine) added 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists respectively for the hosts. 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. The victory was the sixth consecutive win for Neptunas-Akv.. They maintain ninth place with 13-13 record. Loser Palanga dropped to the thirteenth position with 16 games lost. They share it with Omega-Tauras. Neptunas-Akv. will meet at home higher ranked Jurbarkas (#7) in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Palanga will play against Zalgiris II (#3) in Kaunas and hope to secure a win.
