Regular Season Round 18: Saule - VKM 86-82

Date: March 4, 2026
The game between Top Four teams took place in Siauliai. First ranked host Saule (16-1) defeated second-best VKM (14-4) 86-82. VKM was ahead by 5 points at the halftime before a 46-37 second half run of Saule. They outrebounded VKM 50-28 including a 33-19 advantage in defensive rebounds. VKM was plagued by 25 personal fouls down the stretch. Magnas Butkus (-2008) notched 24 points to lead the effort and Gabrielius Krivas (-2008) supported him with 18 points and 9 rebounds. Saule's coach Dainius Bertulis allowed to play the deep bench players in such tough game. Even 26 points, 5 rebounds and 6 blocks (on 11-of-14 shooting from the field) by forward Gabrielius Anskinas (201-2008) did not help to save the game for VKM. Forward Armandas Bukelskis (195-2008) added 15 points and 7 rebounds. Saule have an impressive 11-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 16-1 record. VKM at the other side dropped to the third place with four games lost. Saule will play against Perkunas (#10) in Kaunas in the next round and are hoping to win another game. VKM will play at home against KKM I (#6) and hopes to get back on the winning track.
