Wolves Vilnius improved to 2-2 in Group A after a 78-86 road win over Cedevita Olimpija Ljubljana at Arena Stozice on Tuesday in the first game played in Round 5 of the BKT EuroCup. The visitors led by as many as 16 in the first half and Cedevita fought back to get within 1 in the fourth quarter, but a pair of late threes by Zemaitis Kristupas helped Wolves finish on top.
Rasheed Sulaimon led the winners with 22 points and 7 assists. Kristupas tallied 14 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals. Vaidas Karniniauskas also scored 14, Tre'Shawn Thurman netted 11 points and 7 rebounds and Regimantas Miniotas added 10 points.
D.J. Stewart, Karlo Matkovic, Klemen Prepelic and Amadou Sow scored 13 points apiece for Cedevita. Sow also grabbed 13 rebounds and Prepelic dished 8 asissts, but also committed 7 turnovers. Jaka Blazic scored all of his 12 points in the fourth quarter and Shawn Jones added 10 points in defeat.
Wolves take charge early
Wolves fed the ball inside early in taking a 3-7 lead, but an unsportsmanlike foul committed by visiting center Djordje Gagic led to an 8-2 Cedevita run in which Sow scored twice. Sulaimon made a jumper and free throws to push Wolves back in front, 13-16. He then assisted on back-to-back threes by Arnas Berucka and Kristupas to extend the margin to 9. A jumper by Jones drew the hosts within 18-22 after 10 minutes.
Sow trimmed the gap to 2 with the first basket of the second quarter. Thurman, who entered the game as the EuroCup's top scorer with 20.0 points per game, needed more than 12 minutes before he got on the board with a pair of free throws. Then Miniotas scored twice to extend the Wolves' lead to double figures. The run reached 11 unanswered points as Thurman put the visitors up 20-23. The margin peaked at 26-42 on a Sulaimon triple. Stewart stepped up for Cedevita, but the hosts trailed 35-48 at the break.

Bahcesehir College Istanbul-Wolves Twinsbet Vilnius | Round 10 Highlights | 2024-25 BKT EuroCup
Matkovic entered the highlight reel with a block and a reverse alley-oop slam as Cedevita rallied to 42-50. The hosts were then held scoreless for 4 minutes as Wolves pushed the lead to 46-60. However, Stewart drained another three and Jaka Klobucar drove for a layup that gave Cedevita hope down 56-63 through three quarters.
Blazic leads late Cedevita rally
The Wolves' attack went cold as Blazic's first basket of the game got Cedevita within 3. Blazic remained hot with a three-point play and then free throws to close the gap to 67-68. Thurman and Miniotas answered to keep Wolves in front. After a triple by Blazic made it 72-74 with 2 minutes remaining, Zemaitis hit back from behind the arc. After a timeout, Prepelic matched him. Another three by Zemaitis, this one with 47.3 seconds remaining, made it 77-83 before Sulaimon's free throw established a three-possession lead with less than 30 seconds to go.
