The victory tally was finally opened at Šiauliai (1-7) 93:88 (27:16, 29:26, 19:25, 18:21) broke the “Neptune” of Klaipėda (2-5).
The Klaipeda team competed after a break of nearly a month. Neptune, who was suffering from the coronavirus, played his last game on October 17.
Klaipėda residents got into trouble early in the match, when they allowed their opponents to stage a 15: 0 streak and thus break 24:10. Elvaras Fridriksson led the Šiauliai team forward and after two halves he picked up a double-double (scored 12 points and gave 10 assists), which helped break the break – 51:32.
After the big jump, Neptune returned to the fight. Martynas Mažeika, who until then had been boring and undeserved, scored 14 points in a row and thus reduced the difference to 58:65. Several long shots needed allowed Neptūnas to breathe on the hosts’ back (76:77), and finally M. Jogėla led the residents of Klaipėda forward – 84:83. Still, Gediminas Orelikas answered him, E. Fridriksson added fines, but M. Mažeika also prepared the answer: 86:87.
The last minute remained, the guests had the ball in hand, but the captain of “Neptūnas” committed a foul. Justas Furmanavičius noticed both fines (89:86) and, shortly after, T. Pažėgė stopped throwing them, his hand was shaking. M.Mažeika set the example and passed the nervous test (88:89), G.Orelikas added a fine, and soon M.Lukauskis threw two more. This is how Šiauliai got the victory.
19-year-old Adomas Sidarevičius and Nojus Mineikis got a chance to debut at Betsafe-LKL when Neptūnas got weirder. The former lost 2 two points in 8 minutes, made a successful pass, made a mistake once and scored -2 utility points. On the second count – 9 points (3/7 trit.), 2 rebounds, 2 assists, error, 3 fouls, 1 provoked foul and 4 utility points.
