Rytas Vilnius made a statement in Game 1 of the Betsafe LKL Finals, overcoming a squandered 15-point lead to defeat Zalgiris Kaunas 97-89 in double overtime and steal homecourt advantage.
Azuolas Tubelis led with 21 points (7/9 FG), while RJ Cole added 19 after halftime and Ignas Sargiunas hit four threes, including the clutch bucket to tie the game in the second OT. Despite a game-high 31 points from Sylvain Francisco and 21 from Ignas Brazdeikis, Trinchieri’s Zalgiris fell short in their own arena.
With the series now at 1-0 for Rytas, Game 2 in Kaunas becomes critical for the hosts.
