The two-week break in action in the Betsafe LKL did not knock Zalgiris out of their rhythm, with the Paulius Jankunas-less league leaders capping the weekend with a 75-51 win on the road against Pieno Zvaigzdes on Sunday.

Dee Bost chipped in with 12 points and also had 6 rebounds, while Brandon Davies inscribed a double-double of 11 points and 11 boards, helping the visitors from Kaunas finish the game with a 48-31 advantage on the glass.

Vyacheslav Bobrov, the Betsafe LKL Player of the Month for November, had a team-highs of 12 points and 6 rebounds for Pieno Zvaigzdes, while Martynas Varnas was the only other double-digit scorer with 11 points in his account.

The win allowed Zalgiris, now 12-1, to get a two-win lead over Lietkabelis and Neptunas, with Pieno Zvaigzdes dropping to 5-8 in what was a debut for coach Gediminas Petrauskas, who replaced Rimantas Grigas earlier in the week.
