The lower-seeded Neptunas side drew first blood against Lietuvos Rytas in the Betsafe LKL Semi-Finals, stealing home-court advantage with an 84-79 victory on the road in Vilnius on Monday.

Despite problems with taking care of possessions in the first two quarters, the Kazys Maksvytis-coached side managed to stay in the game and pulled away with strong play after intermission.

The visitors from Klaipeda used a 12-4 run in the fourth period to go up 70-58 with 5:12 remaining in the game. A couple of defensive stops allowed Lietuvos Rytas within 5 points, but they ultimately couldn't turn the tide.
