Zalgiris had a lot of problems with Baltai in
the Lithuanian League (LKL), as last year’s champions could not get a
substantial lead until late in the fourth quarter, taking a 91-73 (21-24, 18-16,
20-18, 32-14) win against Kaunas’ second
team.
Mindaugas Kuzminskas led Zalgiris with an amazing
performance of 30 points, Marko Popovic scored 16, while Milovan Rakovic and
Paulius Jankunas had 15 and 11 points respectively for Zalgiris.
“I just can’t explain our game, but we couldn’t
concentrate from the start. It might by the result of the changes within the
team,” said the game’s top-scorer Kuzminskas after the game.
Mario Delas and Edgaras Ulanovas were the
top-scorers for Baltai, as both finished the game with 13 points, Siim-Sander
Vene chipped in with 12, while Mindaugas Kupsas added 10 points.
