Budućnost VOLI suffered a road defeat against Lietkabelis in the 5th round of EuroCup.
People will definitely talk about this match. The Lithuanian team had +18 after the opening quarter - 31:13, but check this out: Budućnost VOLI were in front after the 3rd quarter - 63:61!
However, Lietkabelis were a better team in the last 10 minutes, simply because they had Adas Juskevicius on their side. This 28-year old point guard played a stunning game. He scored 31 points, had 5 assists and 4 rebounds, but the most impressive thing is that he made 9 three-pointers, 7 of them in the 1st quarter!!!
Those remaining two Juskevicius scored in the last 2 minutes of the match and kept his team in front in the key moments.
