Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Lithuanian Rytas (2-0) crushed at home Turkish Manisa Izmir (0-2) by 59 points 110-51, which is the biggest margin this round on Thursday night. Rytas dominated down low during the game scoring 50 of its points in the paint compared to Manisa Izmir's 22 and made 30-of-34 free shots (88.2 percent) during the game, while Manisa only scored five points from the stripe. They outrebounded Manisa 51-21 including a 41-12 advantage in defensive rebounds. It was a great shooting night for Rytas especially from behind the arc, where they had solid 52.6 percentage. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 30 assists comparing to just 11 passes made by Manisa's players. 25 personal fouls committed by Manisa helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Worth to mention a quality performance of power forward Gabrielius Bubnys (199-2007) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 22 points and 10 rebounds. Forward Adomas Pocius (195-2007) helped adding 12 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists. The best for the losing side was Mehmet Delibas (-2008) with 9 points and 8 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games.
