Last Saturday we played a very important match against the leaders of Division 1 this year , Tyrone ''Towers'' - a well known name and a team for our coach R.Bartkus who used to play with them few years ago, he knew that they play hard basketball and that this year with help by Arturas Pauparis they are one of the main teams to win the league at the end of the season. At the first period ''Wolves'' went in front by 10 points (19-9) but then with only two minutes left some mistakes were made and A.Pauparis from ''Towers'' used them and cut the score to 19-17 .We changed our defense to man on man, to cut A.Pauparis from scoring but he was unstoppable and just kept shooting over D.Surginas hands. After the half time nothing changed, A.Pauparis scored more and more, and we were struggling to score by our self....
We were playing good basketball at the start but we lost it from the 3rd quarter, it felt like our basket was cursed, we missed nearly all the baskets near the end. While the Towers main player A.Pauparis was like out of this world with his shooting accuracy, he scored 52 points and just destroyed us but we won't give up and improve our game. Coach R.Bartkus after the match said '' Our all games are like a final, the crowd, the music, the dancers, when opponents came to play with us they get an atmosphere of a final, and that's why it's harder for us because they definitely will give more than 100 %.And ''Towers'' did that, most by A.Pauparis who scored 52 points...We still have some problems inside our team, to many new players, and we still can't find a right place for everyone, even today, a new good player Stanislaw Poplawskij joined but we still couldn't find our game ...Also you can see by our stats that there is a problem with shooting...''
