Nostra.lt – In the RKL A division, Vytautas Magnus University defeated BC Širvintos UHB-Group 82:81 (29:24, 19:22, 16:15, 18:20) at home and secured their 15th victory of the season. This victory allowed VDU to catch up with Širvintos in the tournament table, although Širvintos has played one game less, so the victory was particularly significant for the hosts in this context.
The game was unpredictable – VDU started better and had a five-point lead after the first quarter (29:24). In the second quarter, the hosts picked up even more momentum and at one point were ahead by as many as 14 points – just over halfway through the quarter, VDU led 47:33. However, Širvintos responded with a run of their own, reducing the deficit and going into the break much closer to their opponents (48:46).
After the break, VDU managed to maintain a fragile lead, winning the third quarter by a narrow margin, but the intrigue remained until the final buzzer in the decisive quarter. Širvintos pressed and was one step away from turning the game around, but VDU held on and closed the game with a one-point lead.
Laurynas Klimas (22 points, 3 assists) and Domas Uosis (20 points, 2 assists) stood out for VDU, with Rokas Norutis (11 points, 6 rebounds) also making a solid contribution.
