Siroki Hercegtisak 77 Alita Alytus 69

Thanks to a strong ten minutes at the beginning of the second half, Siroki took the home win against Alita Alytus this evening, 77-69.

This game was played tough from the tip-off right through to the final buzzer. However, the low score at half-time (28-30) was a good reflection of the high number of turnovers and poor shooting from both teams during the first half.

Nevertheless, the third quarter saw a change in fortune for the home side as suddenly Siroki began to dominate the ball game and went on a get into an excellent rhythm, outscoring their opponents 38-22.

As the guests could hardly even try to get back into the match, Siroki had an easy game to win their third match of this year’s FIBA Europe League.
