Zalgiris continued its great start in the Lithuanian league (LKL) by humiliating Juventus Utena 96-56 (25-18, 27-8, 24-13, 20-16) in a home game in Kaunas.

The side from Kaunas improved its record to 4-0 while Juventus suffered the first loss after opening the season with a win and is now 1-1.

Only five points separated the teams after the first period, but the home team went on a 12-0 run that gave them a 35-18 lead.

Zalgiris didn’t seem to be satisfied with such an advantage and kept pushing forward and the game started to become more of a humiliation than a basketball match as the scoreboard showed 89-44.

Paulius Jankunas led the hosts with 20 points, Tomas Delininkaitis had 15 as Tadas Klimavicius and Mindaugas Kuzminskas had 10 and 9 respectively.

Juventus’ forward Aurimas Kieza banged in a game-high of 26 points, Gediminas Maceina added 8 points and 8 assists while Zydrunas Urbonas finished the game with 6.
