Match progress:
The result did not reflect the course of the match, as Lietkabelis made 8 errors already in the first half, but this did not prevent him from staying ahead at 15:14. The Antwerp team still took the opportunity and re-considered the result, Jalen Jenkins was also right (20:15), but Paulius Valinskas managed to alleviate the delay – 19:20.
With three points, Lietkabelis regained the lead (25:22), but Kenneth Smith responded with the same weapon and the balance tipped again in favor of the guests – 32:27. This quarter, which the hosts managed to end on a positive note, was also close, after Troy Barnies’ three-point lead 42:35.
