Martin Schiller Students 92:98 (25:21, 15:31, 24:21, 28:25) landed at Milan AX Armani Exchange (4-3) and suffered a fifth Euroleague loss in the last six games.
The Italian national team’s basketball players began laying the foundations for a record lead in the second half, scoring 7 of 8 3-pointers in Žalgiris’ basket, shooting 31 points in the quarter and losing 52:40.
After a 7: 0 third-quarter streak, AX Armani Exchange dominated at home 62:42 and forced Schiller to break: the Austrian beat the referee and earned the first technical foul this season.
Immediately afterwards, Kaunas responded 7: 0, ending the fourth with a 15: 6 lead and reducing the deficit to single digits (64:73). The delay was finally resolved after a great performance by Lukas Lekavičius, when the defender scored seven points in a row and the result was equalized (77:77).
With three minutes to go, the opponents’ only three-point streak by Thomas Walkup was one point (82:83), but Sergio Rodríguez and Malcolm Delaney scored three points and allowed the hosts to maintain the lead (89:82) .
Rokas Jokubaitis, who overtook Žalgiris at different times, scored 15 points (3/6 doubles, 2/3 trit., 3/3 penalty) in 25 minutes and improved his personal record for EuroLeague performance.
Until then, his best result was 12 points, winning in the first game of the season in a duel with Piraeus Olympiacos.
Zachas LeDay, who played for Žalgiris last season, played the best match against Kaunas residents on behalf of the AX Armani Exchange. He scored 16 points before the long break and scored a total of 20 (5/8 doubles, 2/3 trip, 4/4 penalties), grabbed 6 balls and posted a 23-point profit.
Kevin Punter and Shavon Shields scored 3 triples each, LeDay, Rodriguez and Delaney 2 each.
Ettore Messina played for the second consecutive game without Luigi Datome.
„AX Armani Exchange“: Kevinas Punteris 22 (3/4 trit., 29 naud. Bal.), Zachas LeDay 20 (6 atk. Kam.), Shavonas Shieldsas 17 (3/4 trit.), Malcolmas Delaney 13, Kyle ‘as Hinesas 10.
