Can Rytas Vilnius stop second half slumps to stop leaders Patras?

Rytas looked sharp in the opener: up 29-23 after one and never let Legia get comfortable in a 93-85 win. Jerrick Harding gave them instant offence with 20 in under 20 minutes, and the bigs made their physicality work in the paint. The stumble came in Germany: up 47-42 at half in Heidelberg, Rytas were outscored 50-36 after the break as the hosts’ guards heated up. The numbers tell the story: 41% FG and 29% from three - and Sargiūnas (15) was their only double-digit scorer to consistently solve the SNP Dome. Back home, the emphasis is simple: clean looks for the guards early, steadier third quarters, and keep the crowd engaged by running off defensive boards.

Promitheas Patras BC Vikos Cola - two wins, two different ways

Game 1 in Patras started with a punch: 32-13 in the first quarter against Heidelberg and they rode it home behind Rob Gray’s 20, Kendale McCullum’s 15 (9/13 FT) and Pauly Paulicap’s 12 rebounds. A week later in Warsaw, it was grind-time defence: they held Legia to 64, winning the second half 36-31 with J.P. Macura making key plays. Promitheas don’t rely on one shot-maker; Gray, McCullum and Macura share the load, and the front line (Paulicap, Leyton Hammonds) competes on the glass. The away brief in Vilnius: survive Rytas’ early surge, keep the foul count manageable, and trust their closing execution in a one- or two-possession game.
