After spending 24 minutes on the parquet floor of the Minneapolis Target Center Arena, the JV scored 22 points (7/12 doubles, 1/3 trip, 5/6 penalties), 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks and two errors . .
Uteniškis played a powerful section in the middle of the second half. With a high two-point shot from under the basket, the tallest hit a safe shot from mid-range on the next attack, and after a few moments he hit the 3-pointer to the Timberwolves basket. Seven consecutive points scored by John helped the team break with a score of 52:34.
The Lithuanian created his most memorable episode with the help of dynamic “Grizzlies” player Ja Moranto. After a two-on-two combination, Memfio’s defender hung the ball towards the basket, and Valančiūnas, who finished off the attack with his right hand, increased the visitors lead to 80:60 in the middle of the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Minnesota basketball players narrowed their gap a bit, but did not take the initiative and challenged the Tennessee state team more seriously.
Karl-Anthony Townsas, a direct opponent of Valančiūnas, played another disappointing match. In 27 minutes played, the midfielder scored just 14 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. In the first two preseason battles with the Grizzlies, the Minnesota team leader scored just 2 of 12 pitches.
The Rookie Exchange 2015 first call didn’t get any stronger help from Anthony Edwards, who received the same honor this year. The defender, who made just one of seven long shots, scored 12 points but inspired team fans with a good block to De’Anthony Melton on a quick attack.
