But there was not enough time for Nokad Chanak’s students to try to overwhelm Lokomotiv.
The most memorable match on Wednesday was for Lietkabelis defender Margiris Normantas.

Mindaugas Kuzminskas was the most productive and helpful among the hosts. The forward scored 20 points, bounced 4 balls, made 2 assists and obtained a total of 23 utility points.
M. Kuzminskas missed only one point before the record for performance recorded in 2009 in European Cup competition.
Mantas Kalnietis contributed 6 points and 11 assists to the victory.
It was the two Lithuanians from Lokomotiv who created the most beautiful episode of the match, when M. Kalnietis, who started the counterattack, made a pass to the compatriot from the board, and the latter threw the ball into the basket without landing.
