The third place winners were announced at the Citadele King Mindaugas Cup (KMT). They became basketball players for Utena Juventus who 86:69 (21:11, 19:22, 25:18, 21:18) confidently defeated the “Neptune” of Klaipeda.
For third place, the people of Utena had 15 thousand. EUR, for the fourth position for residents of Klaipeda – 10 thousand. euros.
The team started the match slowly and Juventus were the first to reach the double-digit limit only after playing five minutes: 11: 5. When the difference increased to double digits, Giedrius Stankevičius struck from a distance, but the free throws of Vytautas Šulskis and Vaidas Kariniauskas returned the distance between the teams to a more solid one: 21:11.
After catching a good wind, Juventus escaped by as much as nineteen points (35:18), until Džiugas Slavinskas stopped their streak with a penalty kick. This prompted a response from Klaipėda residents, and two more triples from N.Giga left only five points for Utena – 32:37. Marius Runkauskas’s triple and Dž Slavinskas’ free kick closed the second quarter – 40:33.
Klaipėda residents managed to get closer (38:40), but “Juventus” staged a 10: 0 streak and split again – 50:38. Utena’s people tried not to squander their lead and stayed ahead, while Vytautas Šulskis’s long shot further increased the lead – 63:49. After three halves, the Utena people led strongly – 65:51.
V.Šulskis’s shooting barely stopped in the fourth quarter, and soon “Juventus” were 80:60. It was clear who the winners would be, we could only expect intrigue about the difference, yet the Klaipeda people did not make the most decent difference, and Juventus had already released 17-year-old Martynas Žvirblis and 16-year-old Redas Šukštas.
“Juventus”: Mindaugas Kupšas 19 (8th chamber), Vaidas Kariniauskas 15 (6th trans.), Vytautas Šulskis 13, Žygimantas Skučas and Bryantas Crawford – 11 each.
Neptune: Džiugas Slavinskas 17 (seventh chamber, 5 res.), Matas Jogėla 12, Norbertas Giga 10 (fifth section, 3/6 trit.), Benas Griciūnas 9 (eleventh section).
