Baloncesto Seville avoided elimination in Last 32 Group L by downing Lietuvos Rytas Vilnius 88-82 at home on Wednesday. Seville improved to 1-3 while Rytas dropped to 2-2. Derrick Byars led the winners with 20 points on 5-of-6 three-point shots. Kristaps Porzingis added 16, Nikola Radicevic and Ben Woodside each had 12 while Willy Hernangomez got 11 for Seville. Radicevic added 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Gediminas Orelik led Rytas with 19 points. Ksistof Lavrinovic added 16 while Martynas Gecevicius and Adas Juskevicius each had 14 for the guests, which led 18-22 after 10 minutes and boosted their margin to 20-30 soon after that. Seville rallied to get a 40-38 lead on a layup by Byars but Orelik and Gecevicius restored a 42-44 Rytas edge at halftime. The guests still led 58-61 after 30 minutes but Hernangomez and Porzingis fueled a 12-2 run which put Seville ahead for good, 70-63. Back-to-back triples by Byars and two more by Woodside allowed Seville to seal a much-needed win.

Antanas Kavaliauskas got Rytas going with a layup and three-pointers by Juskevicius and Orelik gave the guests a 3-10 lead. Radicevic and Porzingis stepped up for Seville but Juskevicius and Mike Moser kept the guests ahead, 11-15. Porzingis sank a jumper and Byars struck from downtown but a big three-pointer by Gecevicius and free throws by Lavrinovic allowed Rytas to keep a 18-22 edge after 10 minutes. Lavrinovic followed a triple with a baseline jumper early in the second quarter and Billy Baron also struck from downtown to make it a double-digit game, 20-30. Byars had 5 points in a 7-0 run which brought Seville back to life, 27-30. Moser hit a jumper and Baron nailed another triple but Porzingis kept Seville as close as 33-35. Juskevicius and Berni Rodriguez exchanged three-pointers but Porzingis and Byars made Seville regain the lead, 40-38. Orelik and Gecevicius put Rytas back ahead, 42-44, at halftime. A 7-0 run which Urtasun capped with a triple gave Seville a 49-46 edge right after the break. Juskevicius and Orelik hit one apiece from beyond the arc but dunks by Ondrej Balvin and Porzingis put the hosts back ahead, 53-52. Rytas found its regular go-to guys in Lavrinovic and Gecevicius, who allowed the guests to get a 58-61 margin after 30 minutes. Hernangomez took over early in the fourth quarter, scoring 7 points in a 12-2 run which Porzingis capped with a close basket for a 70-63 score. Orelik struck from downtown but Byars answered with back-to-back triples for a 76-69 Seville edge with under 6 minutes left. Woodside pulled the trigger from the beyond the arc to seal the outcome, 84-71, as Rytas never recovered.

"It was a great game today for our team. Our players want to dedicate it to the city of Seville. It has been a long time since we have had a victory. Our guys played, for the first time in a long time, good team basketball until the end of the game. We are not so much focusing on the win today, but on the things we did well today; that's what we have to build on. We are going to be back at work tomorrow, looking at the things we did well and correcting our mistakes in the game. We had 17 assists in the game today; that means that we were sharing the ball, playing longer and playing together. We had only 10 turnovers today, which is good. We made free throws today, only missing one. We shot the ball really well from the three-point line, shooting 52%. I don't think we shot that well all season long."

"We played for 40 minutes, all game long, really focused. We played at a high defensive level against a high-scoring team with a lot of talented players. On offense, we were really fluid, finding a lot of open shots, hitting them with good percentages, getting a lot of assists. We were really happy because we hadn't won for a long time and needed to feel this, be positive and carry on. We are trying to play with more intensity in the passing lines, pick-and-roll and on-the-ball defense. We are playing more aggressive on defense, even taking risks. We are getting better results and have to continue working in this direction."
