Regular Season Round 18: Neptunas - Rytas 95-87

Date: January 31, 2026
The game between Top Four teams took place in Klaipeda. Second ranked host Neptunas (11-5) defeated one of their biggest challengers Rytas (9-7) 95-87. Neptunas made 24-of-28 free shots (85.7 percent) during the game. The former international point guard Arnas Velicka (195-1999) had a double-double by scoring 24 points, 7 rebounds and 15 assists to lead the charge for the winners and Latvian guard Rihards Lomazs (189-1996) chipped in 27 points during the contest. Four Neptunas players scored in double figures. Neptunas' coach Gediminas Petrauskas used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The best for the losing side was the former international Gytis Masiulis (206-1998) with 24 points and 6 rebounds and American-Polish point guard Jerrick Harding (185-1998, college: Weber St.) scored 25 points and 4 assists (went 7 for 7 at the free throw line). Neptunas have a solid three-game winning streak. They maintain second position with 11-5 record having four points less than leader Zalgiris. Rytas lost fifth consecutive game. They keep the third place with seven games lost. Neptunas are looking forward to face league's leader Zalgiris in Kaunas in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Rytas will play on the road against Jonava and is hoping to prove to their fans that they can break losing series.
