Neptunas Klaipeda emerged victorious in a high-scoring Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL) derby, defeating Lietkabelis 96-87 at home. The match featured prolific offense from both sides, but Neptunas' ability to get stops in critical moments proved decisive. A back-and-forth first half gave way to a more controlled performance from the hosts after the break, as they gradually built a lead that reached as high as twelve points. Lietkabelis, led by their star guards, kept within striking distance but could never fully recover from Neptunas' third-quarter surge. The win is significant for Neptunas Klaipeda's playoff seeding in the highly competitive LKL. Both teams acknowledged the offensive spectacle, with the Neptunas coach noting the need for better defense despite the positive result.
