History
In 2003, club debuted in the LKAL league and took fourth place (regular season: 19-15). The 2003-2004 LKAL season was more successful for BC „Pieno žvaigždės“ as they won the regular season (regular season: 39-13). In 2006-2007 season, BC „Pieno žvaigždės“ played in the new second Lithuania basketball league NKL and took fifth place (regular season: 22-22). In their second NKL season, BC „Pieno žvaigždės“ took only eight place (regular season: 17-15). The 2008-2009 season was more successful and BC „Pieno žvaigždės“ took sixth place (regular season: 23-13). The 2009-2010 NKL season was one of the most successful in the club history as BC „Pieno žvaigždės“ took third place in NKL (regular season: 21-9).
However, this was not the end as BC „Pieno žvaigždės“ ended their 2010-2011 NKL regular season with 41-1 win-lose ratio (lost to Pakruojo „Meresta“ by one point). On 16–17 April 2011 BC „Pieno žvaigždės“ participated in NKL final four and became NKL champions. Also they got their chance to enter Lithuania super basketball league LKL, because of that „Pieno žvaigždės“ played three transition matches against „Naglis“ (loser goes to NKL and the winner is automatically transferred to Lithuania super basketball league LKL). On 26 April 2011 „Pieno žvaigždės“ lost first transition match against „Naglis“ in Palanga. However, on 29 April 2011, „Pieno žvaigždės“ won the second game of the transition serie in Pasvalys. The perfect BC „Pieno žvaigždės“ season finished very unssucessful as they lost third transition serie game against „Naglis“ by only one point with result 68:69. Because of that, „Pieno žvaigždės“ had to stay in NKL.
However, on 14 July 2011, „Pieno žvaigždės“ bought LKL participant „Perlas“, so they participated in premier Lithuania basketball league LKL, the main team coach was former „Perlas“ coach Roberts Štelmahers. Pieno Žvaigždės debuted in the LKL league on 7 October 2011 against Techasas, they won the match with result 84:56.
In 2011-2012 season Pieno žvaigždės participated in LKF Cup tournament. They eliminated Šiauliai in last round of playoffs and advanced to final four, which took place in Kaunas.
