In another attack, Mindaugas Lukauskis was unable to shoot the ball within 5 seconds, but he himself caught the ball and caused a foul and was on the penalty line 7 seconds later.
The 41-year-old veteran scored the first (81:85), especially lost the second, but after the review the ball went to the Dzuks and Jasaitis secured the victory with appropriate penalties (87:81).

Alytus Dzūkija / Schedule
“I want to congratulate my players on their victory. Today they fought perfectly and complied with the instructions, – after the victory, the coach of “Dzūkija” Vasilevas spoke at the press conference. – We started the game not as planned, but we changed the rhythm and if we can play hard on defense, we can play good basketball. In terms of defense, 24 effective passes are great, I like this result and we are working on it ”.
After the defeat, Šiauliai’s strategist, Antanas Sireika, missed the fight most of his students and was angry for demonstrating principles.
“I really would like the men to not only see the result, but also show character on the field. I would not look at stupid principles, I would only know how to fight. We learned that Artūras Jomantas needs to be stopped, because if he has Simas Galdikas or Djordje Gagičius under the basket, he is not afraid. What I missed the most was the fight, not the principles. You need to demonstrate your competence elsewhere, ”said the 64-year-old specialist.
“Dzūkija”: Simas Jasaitis 20 (5/7 trit.), Giedrius Staniulis 17 (7/15 double, 14th chamber), Artūras Jomantas 13 (4/8 double, 5th chamber, 5 res.), Kristupas Žemaitis 10 (2 / 5 trit., 5 res.), Matas Jucikas 8, Paolo Marinelli 7 (7 res.).
