Rytas Vilnius (2\u20130) added another win in the Lithuanian Basketball League, sponsored by Betsson, without major problems.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Giedrius \u017dib\u0117nas\u2019 squad dominated at home, defeating Garg\u017edai 99\u201373 (29\u201319, 31\u201316, 14\u201321, 25\u201317).<\/p>\n

Garg\u017edai were still missing key big man Paulius Petrilevi\u010dius, while Rytas played without Jordan Walker.<\/p>\n

The hosts pulled away from the very beginning (9\u20132), with Trey Pulliam\u2019s points offering little help to Garg\u017edai. Nojus Mineikis cut the gap, but missed free throws by Gytis Masiulis were quickly compensated by Kay Bruhnke \u2014 18\u201310. Free throw struggles were present on both sides, but it worked in Rytas\u2019 favor, as they gradually pulled away (21\u201310), finishing the first quarter ahead 29\u201319.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Jacob Wiley, Rytas consolidated its position (40\u201323), and shots from Wiley and Simonas Luko\u0161ius turned the lead into a blowout \u2014 44\u201323. Garg\u017edai\u2019s situation worsened (29\u201355), and the hosts dominated to lead 60\u201335 at halftime.<\/p>\n

Although it seemed unlikely that the visitors could come back, Garg\u017edai attempted a run. An 11\u20130 stretch made it 49\u201366, but after five minutes of Rytas\u2019 scoring drought, S. Luko\u0161ius scored free throws \u2014 68\u201349. I. Sargi\u016bnas hit a three-pointer, followed by a two-pointer, allowing Rytas to feel comfortable heading into the final quarter \u2014 74\u201356.<\/p>\n

The entire fourth quarter remained, but Jerrick Harding, Gytis Radzevi\u010dius, and Art\u016bras Gudaitis secured the win for the hosts \u2014 82\u201361.<\/p>\n

Rytas\u2019 most efficient players were Art\u016bras Gudaitis (14 points, 10 rebounds, 27 efficiency) and Jacob Wiley (19 points, 8 rebounds, 25 efficiency).<\/p>\n

Rytas\u0172 Jacob Wiley 19 (8 rebounds, 25 efficiency, 20 min), Jerrick Harding 15, Art\u016bras Gudaitis 14 (10 rebounds, 27 efficiency, 21 min), Ignas Sargi\u016bnas 13, Simonas Luko\u0161ius 12.<\/p>\n

Garg\u017edai: Trey Pulliam 17, Joshua Hagins 11, D\u017eiugas Slavinskas 11, Darylas Doualla 10, Nojus Mineikis 9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
