Arnas Bulkevicius scored 15 points and grabbed 5 assists, Martynas Mazeinka added 13 points and Daniel Ewing 12 for the winning squad.

Zalgiris was trailing 60 – 49 at the end of the third quarter and despite a 13 – 21 in the final period it didn’t manage to complete the comeback. Kevin Pangos and Lukas Lekavicius dropped 12 points each.
