Two effective shots by J. Lauvergne allowed Kaunas to go 75:68 with three minutes to go, Thomas Walkup (79:71) added important points in the penultimate minute, and the Greeks had no time to save.

Augustinas Rubitas, who missed the first three friendlies due to health problems, made his debut in this match in the ranks of “Žalgiris”.
Patricio Garino, Marekas Blaževičius and Karolis Lukošiūnas did not register for the match.
The showdown with the Greeks is the most serious test of Žalgiris’s offseason. So far, Martin Schiller’s students have surely beaten Riga VEF, Juventus from Utena and Lietkabelis from Panevėžys in friendly matches.
