After the break, the visitors took the initiative and were already in front (61:53), but 7 points by Marius Valinskas at the end of the third quarter brought back the close fight. Five minutes later, the scoreboard was seven – 77:77.
In the last minute, Ousmane Drame converted a penalty, but TJ Starks nailed a three-pointer – 85-83. Justas Furmanavičius restored parity with a layup, but the Utenese legionnaire hit again from a distance. After the water break, the Jonavis did not take advantage of two opportunities to equalize the result and were forced to admit defeat.
