Regular Season Round 19: VKKM - Zalgiris 67-96

Date: March 9, 2026
Round 19 most important game was a victory of Zalgiris over 5th ranked VKKM 96-67 on Monday night. The game was mostly controlled by Zalgiris. VKKM managed to win third quarter 19-14. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Zalgiris dominated down low during the game scoring 68 of its points in the paint compared to VKKM's 42. They outrebounded VKKM 58-40 including a 44-19 advantage in defensive rebounds. Zalgiris looked well-organized offensively handing out 27 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of forward Dovydas Jakstonis (196-2008) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 30 points, 20 rebounds and 5 assists (on 13-of-17 shooting from the field). Nojus Mistaautas contributed with 19 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists for the winners. Zalgiris' coach Ramunas Juska felt very confident that he used 11 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Justas Juskevicius answered with a double-double by scoring 18 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists and Jonas Norkus added 14 points and 10 rebounds in the effort for VKKM. Four VKKM players scored in double figures. Zalgiris (8-10) moved-up to seventh place, which they share with SKM II. VKKM lost fifth consecutive game. They keep the fifth position with nine games lost. They share it with KKM I. Zalgiris is looking forward to face higher ranked VKM (#3) in Vilniaus in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. VKKM will play at home against the league's second-placed Tornado KM having rather not much hope for a victory.
