Juventus de Utena (10/20) had a bad time, but managed to win the Betsafe-LKL match at home. Žydrūnas Urbonas students at home 92:73 (22:25, 24:25, 23:11, 22:12) defeated Kėdainiai “Nevėžis-Optibet” (8/22).
Winners continue to play cat and mouse with Lietkabel. The Utensians have a victory over their direct opponent for third position, but the opponents have one match in reserve.
Guests are still catching opponents at the bottom of the tournament table. With 6 games left in the regular season, Nevėžis-Optibet is separated from the playoffs by a win.
Juventus made more effective transfers (24:13) and up to 69 percent. Bryant Crawford, Redas Šukšta and newcomer Aurimas Urbonas did not help Utena residents on Saturday.
Domantas Vilys quickly broke up the match that had just started. A representative of the Kėdainiai team shot 7 points and his team went ahead 16:21.
The guests kept the advantage until the end of the second half, and D. Vilys already accumulates 15 points in his account. However, Mindaugas Kupšas and Vytautas Šulskis had their own answers: the result was equalized (37:37).
At the end of the quarter, Nevėžis-Optibet dived to the three-point line and took the ladder to the locker room (46:50).
After the break, the hosts realized that 50 points per half a game at the home stadium is too much. By activating a higher gear on defense, Juventus quickly sorted things out on the other side as well. The result soon changed in a beneficial direction for them (55:54).
Finally, the 23: 5 jet was crowned by Vaidas Kariniauskas, whose assured play in attack allowed him to gain a double-digit lead (69:58).
Martynas Gecevičius’s 3-pointer within 5 minutes (80:66) turned into a major stab in the fourth quarter. Guests still packed their feathers two triples in a row, but it was too late to clear the deficit.
“Juventus”: Vytautas Šulskis 22, Mindaugas Kupšas 18 (6/7 doubles, 6/6 year penalty, 24 points), Vaidas Kariniauskas 14 (ninth pass), Žygimantas Skučas 11, Ignas Vaitkus 10 points.
Nevėžis-Optibet: Domantas Vilys (4/6 two, 2/7 trit., 19 points) and Sedrick Barefield after 18, Ariel Hukporti 14, Abramo Canka 9 points.
