Everyone was expecting a big game in Vilnius but in the end, it was a one-sided affair.

Rytas got the big 103-83 win over Falco-Vulcano Szombathely, which created a three-way tie on top of Group F standings, and the Lithuanians have a solid advantage due to the final point difference.

RJ Cole with 19 points and Steve Enoch with 18 put on a show, while Jayvon Graves added 15 points as Rytas has won 11 out of their last 12 home games in the Basketball Champions League.

For the losing side Zoltan Perl with 23 points was the top scorer as usual.

Nobody expected that Rytas would have an easy task, but on the court things proved to be quite different with the hosts building a 28-18 first-quarter lead, never trailing in the game, and keeping Falco always at a distance.

The halftime score was 49-36 and by the end of the third, Rytas was up by ten (73-63) after previously leading by 15 (64-59).

In the last period, Falco collapsed, the hosts led by 23 points (95-72) and celebrated a huge win.
