Duškas Ivanovičius’s pupils, who defended with iron, triumphed at Mytiščiai 89:67.
Vitorija’s Baskonia, which continues the race for the playoffs, are now in eleventh position, and Kaunas’s Žalgiris, who are empty in Barcelona, are in ninth position.
It is true that the Lithuanian champions have played one game less.
“I think it was a good match for us,” said Rokas Giedraitis after the victory over Chimki in the Moscow region. – We desperately needed this win if we were to continue the fight for a place in the top eight. The key to victory was defense. We let the rivals score 67 points, so we broke the game on defense. When we defend well and our opponents miss shots, it’s easier to attack and score points for them. “
R.Giedraitis scored 13 points in 27 minutes, bounced 6 and took 2 balls, made 2 assists, made a mistake and registered 17 utility points.
Tadas Sedekerskis played a game of his career in the Euroleague with 11 points, 3 rebounds and 1 interception, 4 assists and 16 PIRs in 22 minutes.
“I think we defended much better in the second half of the game, but the most important thing is that we had a very clear plan of attack on how to attack the opponent. We threw the ball into the penalty area when we had an advantage there. This is why we win so easily. Today we looked like a team looking for the best option when attacking, “said Baskonia strategist Duško Ivanovičius.
Until the end of the regular season, the Basques have nine games to play, and the closest rival is Crvena zvezda from Belgrade, with whom the Vitorian basketball players will take up arms at the Fernando Buesa stadium next Friday.
