Vilnius residents continued to dominate and the gap grew like yeast to 15-19 points.

However, the Žydrūnas Urbonas soldier went to rest, reducing the backlog to a single digit difference: 53:44.

And already in the third half, the guests not only reduced the accumulation, but also advanced.

4 minutes before the fight, Juventus was already ahead 77:74, but the Vilnius representatives recovered and in the penultimate minute of the match the result was equalized 79:79

With the Vilnius team leading 85:83, Juventus legionnaire B. Crawford scored three points and had 60 seconds to recover. And it was done by D.Bičkauskis, responding to opponents with the same launch.

In the remaining time the guests were unable to pitch, this time B.Crawford missed a long pitch and the “Rytas” team won another victory. However, the people of Utena are convinced that A.Marčiulionis committed a three-point shot against B.Crawford.

“Tomorrow”: A. Goudelockas 24 (10/18 years old, 18 points), I. Buva 18 (6/12 years old, 5th grade, 22 points), M. Girdžiūnas 12, D. Bičkauskis 10, Augustas Marčiulionis and Martynas Echodas 8 points each.

It was the third game of the season between Rytas and Juventus. The first two were definitely won by the capital’s team with an advantage of more than 20 points: 106: 77 and 100: 79.

Meanwhile, at the Copa Rey Mindaugas, this scenario looked completely different: in the quarter-finals of the competition, Juventus won 29 points from two games, beat Rytas and made it to the final four.

The match in Vilnius was especially painful, where the Utena people won until 105: 78 and this defeat cost Vilnius coach Donald Kairis a chair.

He was immediately replaced by Giedrius Žibėnas, an assistant strategist, who now continues the series of 13 consecutive victories.
