A beautiful battle for the neutral spectators and a nervous war for the fans: this is how the Lithuanian Basketball League (Betsafe-LKL) match in Panevėžys can be described.
Here, Lietkabelis (6/12) kicked off extra time with an impressive shot from Kyle Vinales and 108: 105 (24:26, 23:24, 24:21, 25:24, 13:10) killed “Šiauliai” (5/13).
K. Vinales became the hero of the match, hitting the siren shot in the fourth quarter and grabbing an additional 5 minutes. During the expansion, Lietkabelis controlled the situation and resisted the people of Šiauliai.
In total, K. Vinales has 32 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 35 utility points. For him, it is both the most productive match and the most effective Betsafe-LKL.
Lietkabelis won the first mutual home game including 101: 76, staging the most productive performance of the season.
Panevėžys’s team were happy with the lead only in the first few minutes; later, Šiauliai sought to take control of the situation. Mindaugas Lukauskis played solidly, regardless of age, and with the help of his teammates, the guests led 36:31. True, the result soon stabilized (38:38), and then the situation kept repeating itself: when the people from Šiauliai tried to escape, the people from Panevėžys always eliminated the difference.
The drama continued, and after a long hiatus, the Panevėžys club broke out alone in the fourth quarter. In George Gagičius and Gytis Masiulis, the gap was reduced to a minimum (79:80), and K. Vinales overtook “Lietkabelis” – 82:80. True, everything was eliminated by Elvaras Fridriksson and Martynas Varnas – Šiauliai took the lead again – 91:89.
Lietkabelis did not take the opportunity and E. Friedrichsson almost confirmed the victory for the people of Šiauliai with his shot – 93:89. Still, Vytenis Lipkevičius shot from a distance, only 15 seconds left, M. Lukukais threw fines, and after K. Vinales deliberately missed the second shot, there were still 4 seconds left, 93:95. That was enough: K. Viñales, who sounded the siren, started the extension, in which the situation was controlled by the hosts, although “Šiauliai” finally began to seize the opportunities.
Kaspars Birzinis reduced the difference to a minimum (105: 106), but with 11 seconds remaining, K. Viñales added penalties and Šiauliai’s last attack was not accurate.
Raincoat: Kyle Vinales 32 (9/18 double, 3/7 trit., 5/6 penalty, 5 rebounds, 6 res., 35 nb), Gytis Masiulis 23 (3/9 trit., 5th rep.), Margiris Normantas 14 (3/4 trit., 6 res.), Vytenis Lipkevičius 11 (3/7 trit., 7 rep.), Paulius Valinskas 10.
