Rytas, who started with just five Lithuanians, was dangerously behind at the end of the third half (49:58), but after Lukas Uleckas stabbed two 3-pointers 15: 2 and took control of the duel – 64:60.
The intrigue also did not evaporate anywhere in the decisive room. Although “Rytas” was two digits apart (83:71), the hosts came close to 83:78. However, in an important moment, one of Šiauliai’s leaders, Elvaras Fridriksson, missed four free throws in a row and the guests withstood the assault of their opponents – 86:78.
Vilnius residents returned to play without their four basketball players: Andrew Goudelock, Kristjan Kitsing, Martynas Echods and Rokas Gussis.
Captain Arnas Butkevičius, who scored 9 points, bounced 10 balls and provided 7 assists, appeared to be the most useful in the “Rytas” ranks.
He was well assisted by Keith Benson with 15 and Ryan Boatrigth and Dovis Bičkauskis with 14 points. Gytis Radzevičius added 10 points.
Andy Van Vlietas, who scored 32 utility points, played an impressive game for the Šiauliai team. The Belgian scored 19 points and grabbed 10 balls.
We remind you that Giedrius Žibėnas assumed command of the capital team from the recently fired Donalds Kairis.
In the first round 107: 80 the Orientals were stronger.
They extended the six-year series of victories against the Šiauliai team. Saul City basketball players defeated “Rytas” for the last time in April 2014.
Although Šiauliai is still in last place in the LKL tournament table, he has won the last two championship matches and four of the five matches he has played overall, including the Citadele-King Mindaugas Cup fights.
