Šiauliai started the match better (20:10), but the double-digit advantage gained quickly melted away, although the attack at the beginning was impressive. It didn’t take half a half to score 20 points, with Martynas Varnas and Elvar Fridriksson contributing the most.
However, Dzūkija took the initiative (28:26), and due to the long throws, he staggered 41:30. It’s true, after a great break, the guests started correcting, scoring 10 unanswered points and closing in (50:51), and then the fight became very persistent.
When Alytus’s people tried to escape (73:64), they kept getting a response (73:71), so the lead was fragile. Martynas Varnas tied the score with 4 minutes to go, but Simas Jasaitis landed a much needed long shot for the Dzuks – 82:78.
Kaspars Bėrzinis reduced the difference, although Artūras Jomantas responded, and S.Jasaitis added a fine – 85:80. With less than a minute remaining, M.Lukauskis failed to throw the ball, so Šiauliai’s hopes continued and the victory was consolidated by the hosts.
The Dzuks had won the first mutual game 102: 71.
S. Jasaitis was the home team’s most productive player with 20 points, scoring 5 points out of three out of 7, which is almost half of the entire team’s long shots (out of 11).
