Jamel Morris answered Paliuk\u0117nas\u2019 run, and Vytenis Lipkevi\u010dius matched Jacob Wiley \u2014 33\u201327. Art\u016bras Gudaitis slightly reduced Rytas\u2019 deficit (31\u201336), but Gabrielius Mald\u016bnas had other plans \u2014 40\u201331. A quick 5\u20130 run by the visitors cut the gap (38\u201343), but after the first half, Nenad \u010canak\u2019s team still held control \u2014 45\u201341.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1192\" data-end=\"1495\">Danielius Lavrinovi\u010dius and Jamel Morris helped Lietkabelis feel stronger (55\u201344) and build a double-digit lead. Ignas Sargi\u016bnas and Jacob Wiley reduced the deficit (53\u201360), but Lipkevi\u010dius and Morris continued to lead \u2014 65\u201354. Rytas tried again to close in (62\u201369), but could not fully erase the gap.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1497\" data-end=\"1783\">Although Paulius Danusevi\u010dius responded to Gudaitis (74\u201366), Rytas tried to get closer.

Kristjan Kullamae\u2019s shot effectively sealed the game \u2014 89\u201380. Sargi\u016bnas still kept hope alive for Rytas (84\u201389) and even forced a turnover, but G.
