Zalgiris took a memorable victory against Khimki on Thursday after Sonny Weems gave the side from Kaunas the victory with a huge throwdown in the dying seconds of the game.
Vladimir Romanov, the owner of the club was very impressed with his team's play and shared his thoughts on the Kauno Diena daily newspaper, which he owns.
The comment of Vladimir Romanov:
Having fought greatly against the defending champions of the VTB League, Zalgiris achieved an impressive victory, overcoming yet another challenge and now has good chances of advancing in all of the leagues.
The whole team was working like an in-tune orchestra, which was directed by the great conductor Aleksandar Trifunovic. The unforgettable moment, when with 4 seconds on the clock he lowered his arm, giving a signal to Sonny Weems, who, like a panther, broke off from the leash and, having speared through three opponent screens, finished off with a dunk into Khimki’s basket in the style of NBA stars. A moment like this will enter the history of Zalgiris.
