Matas Jog\u0117la and Art\u016bras Gudaitis worked to cement control (15:12), but Jarumbauskas answered quickly from beyond the arc (15:15). Finishing the opening frame stronger, \u0160iauliai carried a 27:21 lead into the second period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Oskaras Pleikys and Cassius Winston began chipping away at the gap, Michael Devoe added a basket inside, and Radzevi\u010dius sank a triple to edge Vilnius back in front, 31:29. Rytas Vilnius seized the tempo and grew increasingly confident, stretching the score to 36:31. Ricky Lindo and Radzevi\u010dius each connected from deep (46:37), though \u0160iauliai trimmed the margin to 42:48 by halftime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Coming out of the break, Vilnius shifted into high gear: Gudaitis and Winston ignited a scoring surge, followed by contributions from Lindo and Gytis Masiulis to break the game open at 66:48. \u0160iauliai mounted an immediate counter-attack: Selim Fofana buried a three and added back-to-back layups, and a basket by Martynas Pacevi\u010dius prompted Nedas Pacevi\u010dius to call a timeout at 60:68. Still, the hosts were unable to reclaim the lead, trailing 66:76 heading into the final frame.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Tauras Jog\u0117la kept the pressure on by cutting the gap to 73:76, but Vilnius steadied the ship once again. Clinical execution from the free throw line restored breathing room (84:75) as Gudaitis made repeated trips to the stripe, though a Mike Caffey three-pointer briefly threatened the Vilnius lead (81:88). Late misses from downtown by Karolis Luko\u0161i\u016bnas and Martynas Pacevi\u010dius sealed the outcome, allowing Rytas Vilnius to close out the victory.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL), sponsored by Betsson, Rytas Vilnius (2-1) earned a hard-fought victory, holding off \u0160iauliai (3-3) 95:88 (21:27, 27:15, 28:24, 19:22) on the road.
