Even though Siauliai trailed in a game against Nevezis, they showed a winner attitude and regained the control of the game just when it counted en route to the 98:85 win at home.

It was pretty tough game from early on and neither team could get a meaningful advantage. The hosts finished the first quarter a bit better, but that did not mean anything special for them as Nevezis managed to make a huge 10:0 run to cut their deficit to just 4 points in the second quarter - 32:36. A couple of possessions later the result became tied at 38:38.

Aidas Viskontas played exceptionally well for Nevezis and made big shots behind the arc. The guests scored 4 points without an answer to finish the first half leading 45:40.

In the third period the guests increased their lead up to 7 points for a couple of times, but then Siauliai started to wake up and pretty much feel their own rhythm. The hosts caught fire in the fourth quarter, when Gintaras Kaziulis connected a trey to make the difference between teams in double figures - 75:65. Siauliai finished the ball game easily and got their 6'th win of the season.

Virginijus Praskevicius scored 27 points along with 8 rebounds and 5 assists for the winners, while G.Kadziulis added 21 (6 ast.). A.Viskontas poured in 26 for Nevezis.
