Alex Antetokounmpo makes his debut in Mažeikiai, Neptūnas ends the victory drought

After a FIBA national teams break, we're back with Betsafe-LKL basketball. Together with Scorestars we present you the most important action in Lithuanian arenas last week.

Alex Antetokounmpo made his debut with M Basket-Delamode Mažeikiai jersey in a game against Wolves Vilnius. Despite the newcomer's 12 points on 5-9 shooting from the field, his team fell against the Wolves 73-84.

Rytas Vilnius bounced back after a disappointing Citadele King Mindaugas cup (Citadele KMT) final four as they beat Uniclub Casino – Juventus Utena at Vilnius. They were victorious despite the absence of three important backcourt players: Marcus Foster, Margiris Normantas and Arnas Velička. Moreover, RJ Cole suffered a game-ending injury on the second quarter, leaving Rytas without a true pointguard.

Neptūnas Klaipėda finally ended it's 6-game losing streak in Panevėžys. Having a new coach, Georgios Vovoras, at the helm of the team, Neptūnas was in front for most of the time. After Gediminas Orelik travelled with 4 seconds left, Ignas Sargiūnas took matters in his own hands. The 24-year old guard lost his defender and layed it up for the win on the last second. This was a sort of a deja-vu as Sargiūnas missed a layup against 7bet-Lietkabelis Panevėžys on January, when that shot could've led his team to Citadele KMT final four.
