Kaunas “Žalgiris” team failed to reach the first season trophy. In the Euroleague club friendly tournament, the hosts 70:88 (13:23, 10:23, 27:17, 20:25) did not face AX Armani in Milan.
In the Kaunas tournament, third place went to Panathinaikos from Athens, fourth place went to ALBA from Berlin.
Žalgiris started the match with 5 points in a row and AX Armani responded with four. The Milan team started to move away (14: 9), and the team leader was Kevin Punter, who had already scored 10 points out of 17, while on the other side of the field, “Žalgiris” did his best not to leave advance opponents – 13:17. Still, the gap grew to double digits (13:23), and thus ended the first half.

The Kaunas team’s attempts to get closer were unsuccessful: the attack remained paralyzed. Meanwhile, AX Armani tried 3s and broke even more (33:18), although Marius Grigonis and Joffrey Lauvergne finally scored for Žalgiris – 23:39. The gap between the teams only grew and after two halves, AX Armani led 46:23.

Although “Žalgiris” discovered the long shots, the rivals did not give up and maintained their lead – 57:36. Artūras Milaknis and Thomas Walkup collected the necessary points, Rokas Jokubaitis added another three points, but in the final result the difference remained solid. It is true that the mood improved with Martin Geben’s points with a foul: 50:63.
