Sunday was an eventful day for Lithuanian fans. The second Vilnius derby of the season took place in Avia Solutions Group arena. Despite a slow start, Rytas Vilnius managed to have a 19-0 spurt to take control of the game and eventually capture a convincing 89-72 win against their counterpart of the city, Wolves Vilnius.

On the same day the ambitious Uniclub Casino – Juventus Utena came back from a 14-point deficit against 7bet-Lietkabelis Panevėžys. In a choatic last minute it seemed like the home team might come out with a victory but Scoochie Smith dished an assist to Šarūnas Beniušis, whose dunk gave his team 1-point lead with 1 second to go. Deividas Sirvydis' shot was off the mark and the away team celebrated a win that lifted them to the third place in the standings, while 7bet-Lietkabelis is now only fifth.
