Žalgiris, who took advantage of the narrow ranks, achieved an impressive home win 92:45 (23:11, 22:11, 27:11, 20:12).
The Kaunas team’s biggest win in the derby so far was achieved in the 2019 LKL final, when they managed to triumph by 38 points with a difference of 92:54.
The people of Vilnius celebrated a record victory in 2009, when Žalgiris was crushed by a margin of 42 points 100: 58.
In Sunday’s game in Kaunas, Žalgiris held a 12-point lead after the first half (23:11), which was almost doubled to 23 points (45:22) before the long break.
In the second half of the match, the hosts did not relax and continued to crush the opponents. “Žalgiris” ran forward unhindered, and the Vilnius people, who reconciled with defeat early on, were unable to compete with the Lithuanian champions.
On Friday, Kaunas’ team in the Euroleague competed with Barcelona, so this time Martin Schiller will give a break to one of their leaders, midfielder Joffrey Lauvergne.
Since mid-November, the casualties of “Morning”, which has not played due to coronavirus cases, have been much greater. Maurice Ndour and Ryan Boatright (both COVID-19), Andrew Goudelock (muscle sprain), Rokas Gustys (shoulder injury) and Arnas Butkevičius (finger fracture) did not help the capital team.
Donaldas Kairys has only 7 healthy main players, so two reserve team members, Rokas Jocius and Adas Šimonis, were invited before the match.
In the fourth quarter, A. Šimonis scored the first points of his career at Betsafe-LKL. The defender scored a free kick in the 15th minute.
Midfielder R. Jocius did not score for 13 minutes.
Marekas Blaževičius had the opportunity to appear in the ranks of “Žalgiris”, who scored 10 points and bounced 6 balls in 22 minutes.
Karolis Lukošiūnas made the worst of his chance, scoring 3 points in the “Ryto” basket in 23 minutes.
The Kaunas team’s victory was exacerbated by Steve Vasturia’s injury. The US defender was injured on the road in the second half and was unable to continue the game.
Žalgiris: Lukas Lekavičius 17, Marius Grigonis 14, Rokas Jokubaitis 11 (6th ed.), Marekas Blaževičius 10, Artūras Milaknis 9.
Morning: Martynas Echodas 10 (8th chamber), Dovis Bičkauskis 9 (1/4 trit.), Gytis Radzevičius and Mindaugas Girdžiūnas – 6 each.
Basketball players from “Žalgiris” won the derby 84:72 in Vilnius in October.
