On Sunday, the Lithuanian champions at home 96:60 (18:16, 19:20, 31:14, 28:10) left Šiauliai basketball players no hope.
This was the third meeting of these teams this season and all three times the victory was celebrated by the residents of Kaunas.
Although Žalgiris won the duel with a 36-point advantage, the first two halves were boiled by a persistent struggle.
“Šiauliai”, who did not overtake his opponents, entered a long break with a deficit of only 36:37.
However, in the second half of the match, the Lithuanian champions managed to break up the match at their side and score a landslide victory.
“In the second half of the game, the ball moved much better, we hit our shots.
In the second half, we had trouble attacking the basket, but after the break we hit the game much better and used it in two-on-two situations, ”said club strategist Kaunas M. Schiller on two different sides.
The Austrian basketball specialist also mentioned the situation of the team’s tall Frenchman, Joffrey Lauvergne. The basketball player was injured in a Euroleague duel against basketball players from Istanbul’s Anadolu Efes on Friday.
“Tomorrow he will have a more detailed investigation, but the feeling is that everything is fine and he should play in the next game,” Schiller said.
It was the victory of the 19th “Žalgiris” in this LKL season. Next week, the Lithuanian champions will have an early duel against the “Rytas” team from Vilnius.
