Gargždai — Siauliai: 90:79, LKL

Gargždaі claimed a 90-79 victory over Šiauliai in the LKL on 20 September 2026. The hosts held a high line of shooting accuracy throughout, converting at a rate that Šiauliai could not match.

By then, Gargždaі had already shown vulnerability in their previous outing against Žalgiris Kaunas, losing 77-98. That defeat seemed to sharpen their edge.

We had backed the home side at 52 per cent confidence before the game, and the performance justified the call. The hosts found a way back into the rhythm after their earlier setback, and that momentum carried through.

Gargždaі's shooting was the difference. They made 34 field goals from 69 attempts compared to Šiauliai's 25 from 52, and the three-point advantage was stark: eight for the hosts against seven for the visitors.

Šiauliai did more with fewer opportunities, but the extra possessions mattered. Gargždaі secured 34 rebounds to 29, and their 21 assists versus 16 showed better ball movement.

Šiauliai remain fourth in the table after 32 games with 17 wins and 15 defeats. The result extends their run without a win, and they are staring at the drop if form does not improve.

Gargždaі held on grimly after Šiauliai attempted a late surge, but the margin proved insurmountable. The hosts have kept their position clear, and the visitors will need to find answers quickly.
