One of the most impressive games of his career was played by tall Jonas Valančiūnas of the Grizzlies. In the first half of the match, after receiving beautiful passes from Ja Moranto, Justise Winslow and Desmond Bane, Utena’s team started the match by hitting the first 5 pitches.
The Memphis basketball players, led by the Lithuanian duo and Morantas, won as many as 19 points in the second quarter, but Taylor Jenkins’ students failed to keep it up. After provoking a series of errors, the Wizards won the rest of the half with a score of 21: 7 and awarded the teams just 5 points before the long break.
The hasty guests did not stop early in the second half of the game, and after Russell Westbrook’s two-point Washington team ended, work began in the second half and he re-weighed the result in his favor: 73: 74.
While trying to take the initiative into his own hands, Valančiūnas settled for his midfielder Moritz Wagner in a fight under the opponent’s basket. The ostentatious tall people were punished with a mutual technical foul that ignited Utena’s rarely seen anger.
Already during the next attack, the young Morantas made a beautiful pass over the basket, to which Valančiūnas threw the ball with tremendous force through the German’s head, at the same time as it earned him Wagner’s fourth personal foul. After this episode, the Lithuanian poured out all his accumulated emotions and received an emotional greeting from his teammates.

Making the most of the situation, JV also took a free kick after the episode, and already during the next attack, the Lithuanian added another colon with the opponent’s foul. A total of up to 10 points in the third half helped the team turn off the opponents’ jet and regain control of the match into their own hands.
In the final race, Jonas scored 30 seconds before the end of the game: the Lithuanian made another colon on Wagner’s sixth foul, thus ending the German performance in Memphis early.
In the 32 minutes spent on the court, Valančiūnas has already accumulated 21 double-doubles this season: 29 points (12/19 double, 0/2 trit., 5/7 penalties), 20 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 blocks , 2 errors and 3 personal fouls.
For the 28-year-old Lithuanian, it was the most productive game of the season with the highest number of blocks, and 20 rebounds became the best result of the season. Valančiūnas scored at least 20 points and 20 rebounds for only the fourth time in his NBA career.
