In the initial LKL final game, the Žalgiris team secured a 107:75 victory over Utenos „Juventus“, establishing a 1-0 lead in the series. Following the game, T. Masiulis addressed the press, offering congratulations to both the team and the large turnout of fans.
“Congratulations to the team and fans who came today,” Masiulis stated during the press conference. “We secured our first victory. Our defense was crucial to this win, particularly during the first period.
This was the most important aspect, as in a series format, a single point is all that matters, regardless of the advantage.” He acknowledged the challenge ahead, noting, “We know that it will not be easy in Utena.”
The path to this final for Žalgiris was notable, as the team had previously faced defeats against both the Vilnius „Rytas“ and the Klaipėda „Neptūnas“ in preceding stages. The victory in this first match provides a significant momentum boost for the team as they advance in the LKL final.
