The BC Wolves (14-6) resumed their strong campaign in the Lithuanian Basketball League (Betsafe-LKL) by adding another notch to their win column when they defeated M Basket-Delamode of Mažeikiai (7-11) in an away game - 84:73 (21:25, 23:13, 20:19, 20:16).
The men from Mažeikiai had a strong start to the match and took the lead early - 22:14. However, the Wolves duo of Jeffery Taylor and Garrison Brooks worked hard to chip away at the deficit, and after Arnas Berucka's three-pointer, only a single point separated both teams - 21:22.
Slowly but surely, the Vilnius-based club tried to snatch the lead and was able to do so in the second quarter (28:25), but Martynas Gecevičius and Daniel Dolenc spoiled the guests' plans by wrestling back the advantage, 37:39.
After the halftime break, the Wolves regained their old form and were able to establish control, although the lead remained rather slim at 50-45. Chauncey Collins added clutch baskets to bring his team closer (48:50) but M Basket-Delamode was not able to capitalize afterwards. The Wolves then built a more significant advantage (64:57), and a little later they reinforced the lead further to double digits (74:64) and did not let the road victory slip away.
