The Kaunas residents, who were impressive and hit the first five long shots, dominated the entire match, from 1 to 40 minutes. At the end of the fourth quarter, the Green-White advantage reached 22 points – 87:65.
The Turks had gotten dangerously close only a couple of times: 32:31 and 57:53. In the first case, they were thwarted by Artūras Milaknis’s triple, and in the second, by Steve Vasturia’s free-kick.
Nigel Hayes, S. Vasturia, Marius Grigonis, Lukas Lekavičius, Rokas Jokubaitis, A. Milaknis, Martin Geben and Joffrey Lauvergne all played fantastically in separate sections, and the hosts who shared a wonderful ball made a total of 26 assists.
Martin Schiller students scored two points with up to 69 (27 out of 39) and three points with 53 percent (10 out of 19).

With three wins in a row against Piraeus Olympiakos (68:67), Moscow region Chimki (84:70) and Crven Zvezda of Belgrade (75:69), the people of Žalgiris had the support of some 5,000 fans in the island of Nemunas. This is the Euroleague attendance record this season.
By the way, due to additional anti-virus procedures, 10 minutes before the start of the first EuroLeague match in Kaunas, hundreds of meters of queues lined the entrances to the arena.
The Turkish champions, who only stumbled four times (4/24) in Europe last season, started the tournament this year with two unexpected misses: 69:73 against Zenit in St. Petersburg and 71:80 against Fenerbach in Istanbul.
However, Anadolu then gained momentum: they celebrated the victory on the home front by almost one point difference (115: 76), and then in Berlin 93:72 they taught the local ALBA.
It’s true that Ergin Ataman still doesn’t have Eurolea superstar American Shane Larkin at his disposal. Mister 49 points last year was the most productive (average 22.2 points) and most useful (average 25.8 points) player in the entire tournament.
For his part, Green-White continues to work without Argentine Patricio Garino, who had a meniscus operation.
This was the seventeenth duel between these teams in this century, and Žalgiris is still ahead of Anadolu Efes in terms of victories with the result of 10: 7.
