Following a hard-fought battle, the squad led by Nedas Pacevi\u010dius overcame Hapoel Jerusalem 104-95.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">The visitors enjoyed a better start to the contest: Lofton and Roddy scored quickly (0:5), while Winston opened the account for Rytas with a free throw (1:5). For the opponents, Burg hit a two-pointer and a three-pointer, forcing the Vilnius side to call an early timeout (1:10). Gytis Radzevi\u010dius scored two points, but Lofton answered with an and-one play and capitalized on a turnover by the hosts (3:14). The home team offense was reignited by a Winston two-pointer and points from under the basket by Kay Bruhnke (7:14). Shortly after, Gytis Masiulis matched a made basket by Roddy, and following a rebound by Masiulis, Ignas Urbonas drilled a three-pointer (12:16). Although Lofton shook the rim with a dunk as Hapoel stretched the gap again (14:23), the Vilnius squad seized control late in the quarter. Following a technical foul on Milton, Devoe made the free throw, Winston added two points in the final seconds of the shot clock (17:23), and after Burg hit his free throws, Ignas Urbonas and Devoe trimmed the margin to 21:25.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">The opponents started the second quarter with points off an offensive foul by A. Gudaitis along with a Huber three-pointer, but Ricky Lindo and Matas Jog\u0117la responded with baskets in the paint (26:30). Ricky Lindo countered attacks by Smith once again (28:32), and Gytis Radzevi\u010dius soon raised the stakes with a long-range shot (33:36). The guests replied with a scoring run as Roddy and Mileti\u010d widened the gap once more (33:42), but Gytis Radzevi\u010dius stopped the bleeding for Rytas (36:42). Soon after, Gytis Masiulis also struck from downtown (39:44). Right before the main break, Kay Bruhnke knocked down both free throws (41:46), and after the Jerusalem head coach was assessed a technical foul, Devoe closed the quarter at the charity stripe with the scoreboard showing 42:46.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Gytis Radzevi\u010dius opened the third quarter with a long-range strike (45:46), C. Winston converted a free throw, and K. Bruhnke matched a three-pointer by E. Burg (49:51). Although Martynas Paliuk\u0117nas forced a turnover, a J. Smith three-pointer and points from K. Lofton extended the visitors lead (49:56). The Vilnius side quickly launched a powerful run: Gytis Radzevi\u010dius scored four consecutive points, Cassius Winston answered a basket by Mileti\u010d, and M. Devoe alongside C. Winston leveled the score after a long chase (60:60). Following a free throw by Cacok and an offensive foul by Lofton, M. Jog\u0117la drained a three-pointer to put Rytas ahead (63:61). Milton tied the game again, but Ricky Lindo instantly struck from beyond the arc, M. Jog\u0117la made his free throws, and Ricky Lindo, set up by Devoe, along with Matas Jog\u0117la answered a score by Roddy (72:65). Near the end of the period, Ricky Lindo swatted away an opponent shot with a block, M. Jog\u0117la created a double-digit lead, and M. Devoe added three more points with a buzzer-beating three-pointer \u2013 78:65.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\"><span class=\"ng-star-inserted\">Gytis Masiulis kicked off the decisive period with two daggers from distance, responding to a pair of successful attacks by the opponents (84:69). The visitors refused to back down as D. Cacok, K. Lofton, and Milton trimmed the deficit, but C. Winston and M. Paliuk\u0117nas, who converted both free throws, protected the advantage (87:76). Milton committed an offensive foul and fouled out of the game, while A. Gudaitis added two points (89:78). However, Kay Bruhnke picked up his fifth foul, and following free throws by Roddy along with a dunk and baskets from Lofton, the teams were separated by only four points (89:85). At a critical moment, Matas Jog\u0117la sank a cold-blooded three-pointer (92:85). After the opponents answered with a two-pointer, A. Gudaitis stepped up to the free-throw line, while the Jerusalem head coach received his second technical foul and was ejected. Devoe increased the lead with accurate free throws (96:87), though Hanochi managed to hit another three-pointer (96:90). The final minute played out in favor of the hosts, and Rytas celebrated a 104-95 victory in the international friendly tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Loudly supported by their home fans, Rytas Vilnius displayed great character and hoisted the Satchel Cup trophy.
