New club records set in three-pointers for a quarter, free throws accuracy.
Lietkabelis rewrote its record book in Bourg victory
7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys has several new entries in its record book after beating Mincidelice JL Bourg en Bresse 100-96 in Round 6 of the BKT EuroCup. Five players combined to shoot 8 three-pointers without a miss in the opening quarter, which set the stage for the victory.
The 8 threes were the most ever by the club in a single quarter of a EuroCup game, eclipsing the 7 it made in the opening period against Buducnost VOLI Podgorica in November 2017.
Deividas Sirvydis, Gediminas Orelik and Paulius Valinskas each made 2 triples in the quarter, which saw the hosts surge to a 30-14 lead. Vytenis Lipkevicius and Martynas Vardas each added a three-pointer.
Sirvydis sets new career highs
The game was the 40th for Sirvydis in the competition and he set personal bests in scoring (27), assists (5) and PIR (35) to lead Lietkabelis. He was perfect in 11 trips to the free-throw line.
Sirvydis tied Panagiotis Kalaitzakis for the most free throws made by a Lietkabelis player in a EuroCup game and set a club record for the most free throws made by a Lietkabelis player with a miss. Kalaitzakis shot 11 for 13 from the foul line in an 84-85 loss against Lokomotiv Kuban Kransodar in October 2021. Jamel Morris made 10 free throws for Lietkabelis without a miss in a 74-71 loss at Umana Reyer Venice in November of last season.
His 27 points are tied for the most ever by a Lietkabelis player in the EuroCup and his PIR of 35 is third in club history. The respective records are 31 points, shared by Adas Juskevicius and Gediminas Orelik, and a PIR of 38 by Juskevicius and Gytis Maciulis.
