After the fifth victory in the LKL championship, “Rytas” rises to second place in the tournament table. It is true that the people of Panevėžys have played one less game and will be able to catch up with the capital’s basketball players in the near future.
The third club, Utena Juventus, is also fighting fiercely for second place, with 11 wins and 5 losses.
The match was started more aggressively by the hosts of the field, who perhaps could not boast of penalty towers like the opponents, but the lack of centimeters was compensated with a fight in every centimeter of the field. “Rytas” grabbed 5 balls in attack during the first quarter, 3 of them – Gytis Radzevičius, but the team lacked a more stable hit. At the end of the quarter, Lietkabelis started a mini-jet and won the quarter at 19:17.
At the start of the second half, both teams sped up the game, but neither team’s advantage was clear. After several successful episodes of George Gagičius in attack, Lietkabelis led 37:31, but the Vilnius people finished the half more successfully, with a deficit of only one point before the second part of the match (38:39).
After the break, A.Marčiulionis entered the square with impressive energy. The 18-year-old full back scored 11 points in just half the time, and Rytas, who was 15: 3, gained a double-digit lead (53:42). Young Marčiulioniukas soon sat down for the half-time he had earned, but with the player’s departure, the people of Vilnius began to stagnate. Lietkabelis, with the help of precise 3-pointers, quickly eliminated the entire deficit and even gained a minimal advantage. Rytas, who played more solidly late in the quarter, led 60:58.
The start of the decisive quarter was once again owned by the hosts. After returning to the field, A.Marčiulionis revived his team’s game again (73:66), but “Lietkabelis” did not withdraw from the fight. The end of the match was very nervous and full of childish errors by both teams, but Vilnius managed to withstand the onslaught of their opponents and rise with a dramatic victory.

A.Marčiulionis organized a professional performance among the winners of the LKL championships. The player spent 16 minutes on the parquet, during which he managed to add 17 points, recapture 3 balls, make 3 assists and add 19 utility points.
Prior to this match, Augustus had scored the most 9 points and 18 utility points in the LKL championship.
Another youngster from the capital team, 21-year-old Lukas Uleckas, who scored 16 points and came very close to repeating the season’s performance record (18 points), also looked solid.
The Jeep Arena hosts won the fight under the board 35:24 in a 12-ball attack.
It is interesting that the Panevėžys people attacked the basket with greater precision (59% of two points against 52% opponents and 44% of triples against 39% opponents), but they were not allowed to fight for the victory by too many errors. – The ball was lost 19 times.
Vilnius “Tomorrow”: Augustas Marčiulionis 17, Lukas Uleckas 16 (4/5 trit.), Mindaugas Girdžiūnas 14, Dovis Bičkauskis and Keith Benson 8 each.
