American forward James Augustine (208-84, college: Illinois) produced 12 points and 9 rebounds (on 6-of-7 shooting from the field) and Serbian point guard Nemanja Nedovic (191-91, agency: BeoBasket) added 11 points and 9 assists respectively for the guests. Both coaches tested many bench players in such tough game. Defending Lithuanian champion moved-up to fourth place, which they share with Real Madrid and Fenerbahce.
