All matches were dominated by students of Nikola Vasilevo 102: 71 (32:24, 21:17, 22:11, 27:19) crushed Šiauliai (0-3) and pushed them to the end of qualifying.
Jucikas scored 25 points (9/13 colonies, 7/7 penalties) in 27 minutes, bounced 7 and took 2 balls, made 2 assists, made 3 errors and fouled, and scored 31 utility points.
His previous career performance record was 18 points, when in 2016, representing Šiauliai, he threw both into the Vilnius Rytas basket.
The big problems for the hosts started in the third quarter. Kristupas Žemaitis gave Dzūkija a record 20-point lead with two points below the basket (67:47). Šiauliai coach Antanas Sireika called for a minute break, but the problem continued: Tadas Rinkūnas scored his third triple, Jucikas scored a two-point foul, Artūras Jomantas added two light points and Dzūkai walked away with a 26-point lead (75:49).
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Seth LeDay, brother of former Žalgiris resident Zach LeDay, made his Šiauliai debut. As soon as he entered the field, the American scored his first Betsafe-LKL championship points, but that was all that could have delighted the Šiauliai fans during the deciding quarter: 5 minutes before the end of the match, Šiauliai was crushed by 36 points (54:90).
Šiauliai: Elvaras Fridriksson 15, Ryan Anderson 15 (8 chapters).
