Martynas Gecevičius was the most outstanding in the Juventus team, scoring 20 points (4/8 triples), making 8 passes and accumulating 25 utility points. This is the best game of the season for him.
Ignas Vaitkus was even more useful: 16 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 27 utility points. For the forward, it is also the most effective match of the season.
Together, the duo scored nearly half of the team’s points (36 of 83) and utility points (52 of 91) for the hosts.
13 points and 7 rebounds – on Julius Jucikas’ account. 11 points added by Mindaugas Kupšas.
Vytautas Šulskis’ performance was the worst: 2 out of two points out of 5, 0 out of three points out of 4 and -7 points of utility. Bryant Crawford also struggled: 1 out of 5 triples, 0 out of 2 triples, and -2 utility points.
Vaidas Kariniauskas scored 21 points for club Kėdainiai, Panagiotis Kalaitzakis 15, Vaidas Čepukaitis 14, Julius Kazakauskas 12.
The Utensians imposed their rules from the start of the game. Already in the second half, the difference exceeded the limit of 10 points (21:10), and the Nevėžis-Optibet attack stalled strongly. Although the second quarter was more productive for the people of Kėdainiai: they scored as many points as their opponents, it did not allow to reduce the difference, at that time the long shots were like a spell: only 1 in 12 achieved the goal.
After a long break, Panagiotis Kalaitzakis and Vaidas Kariniauskas helped organize the streak and cut the difference in half (35:40), still 40 seconds was enough and Mindaugas Kupšas again increased the difference to ten – 47:37. V. Kariniauskas scored 12 points during the quarter, while M. Gecevičius showed his precision from afar, so the intrigue grew – 56:55.
Even so, Juventus began to suppress it, maintained a successful stage and recovered the double-digit difference (70:60) that became decisive. Nevėžis-Optibet is no longer challenged.
However, Žydrūnas Urbonas still showed emotions in the last minute of the match and received a technical foul.
The accuracy of long-distance shots remained a problem for Nevėžis-Optibet until the end: only 3 of 22 were hit.
Ž. At the moment, Urbon students have only landed in Vilnius “Rytas”.
Last year, the people of Utena won all three matches against Kėdainiai.
