The visitors rallied in the second half for a fourth straight victory while the hosts lost their fourth in a row.
Andres Feliz and Joventut keep learning and winning



Joventut Badalona extended its winning streak to four games with a 79-94 triumph over Wolves Vilnius. Unlike the first three victories in this streak, there was no much doubt about this one.
The last three games Joventut won by a combined 9 points, but on Wednesday night in the Lithuanian capital it used a 2-18 run late in the third and early in the fourth quarter to turn a 62-60 deficit into a 64-78 lead, before comfortably closing out the game.
Joventut had several key contributors, but none bigger than playmaker Andres Feliz. In his role off the bench, Feliz played a team-high 28:43 minutes, scored 18 points, made 4 of 5 triples and dished a career-high 10 assists, after never having more than 7 assists in a single EuroCup game. Along with his first career double-double, he also pulled down 5 rebounds and collected 3 steals.
"Andres is important because he played a lot of years with us, and understands [our] philosophy," Coach Carles Duran said after the game.
Feliz had 11 points and 6 assists in the first half, and he was instrumental in not allowing the hosts to pull away in the second quarter in which the Wolves had a 9-point margin. Feliz had 9 points and 3 assists in the second quarter to help Joventut get in front.
Apart from Feliz orchestrating the offense, another key in this one was in the rebounding. The hosts entered the game as the top offensive rebounding team in the EuroCup, but not only did Joventut allowed only 7 offensive rebounds, but it even won the offensive rebounding battle by claiming 8.
"We closed the rebounds, that was important. And we translated it to the offensive side, sharing the ball, playing together", Feliz said.
The win improved Joventut's record to 7-5, tied for fourth best in Group A, and aiming for more with six games left in the regular season.
"We are learning from a slow start that we had beginning of the season", Feliz concluded.
