Vilnius “Morning” (0/1), led by Donalds Kairis, started the FIBA Champions League season with a nasty loss.
Vilnius residents found no antidote in defense and 88: 106 (22:27, 29:24, 20:29, 17:26) Had to acknowledge the advantage of basketball players Athens Peristeri (1/0).
He was unstoppable in the ranks of his opponents Steven Gray, who scored up to 39 points, hit 10 triples and scored up to 47 utility points.
Match progress:
The start to the East was poor. In just four minutes, only a shot from Rock Gusztis reached the goal, while Peristeri scored 11 points and was 11: 2 behind. The Greek club held the difference (16: 7), but Mindaugas Girdžiūnas scored three points one after another – 16:24. We managed to get close, but the mistakes continued, the competitors used the odds and even despite the four long shots of M. Girdžiūnas 22:27.
Chris McCullogh and Demetrius Jackson continued to reduce the morning delay and finally managed to take the lead and rebalance the result with free throws: 36:34. D. Jackson still hit from a distance, and when “Peristeri” compared the result, M. Girdžiūnas hit the triple again – 44:41. The rest of the half went exactly to both teams, so it ended 51:51.

Both teams continued to attack the rivals’ baskets perfectly. Andrew Goudelockas scored from distance in the 24th minute and tied the score (61:61), but Peristeri’s team soon made a great pass on defense and did not allow opponents to score even in the 4th minute. Rytas revived a bit the attack, but the defense continued to falter – 71:80.
The Vilnius people started the deciding quarter with determination and worked hard under their basket for some time. Unfortunately, Steven Gray’s 3-pointer crossed in the 35th minute as needed due to the enthusiasm of the “Rytas” basketball players – 81:90. Christian Kitsing scored points in the ranks of the capital club, but the opponents also found arguments. The hosts’ defenses once again finally collapsed at the end of the duel: they lost 88: 106.
Morning: Chris McCullough 22, Mindaugas Girdžiūnas 15, Demetrius Jackson 14, Andrew Goudelock 13, Arnas Butkevičius and Kristjan Kitsing 8 each.
