Regular Season Round 19: Zalgiris - Valencia 86-82

Date: January 18, 2018
Very predictable result when sixth ranked Lithuanian Zalgiris (12-7) won against 14th ranked Spanish Valencia Basket (6-13) in Kaunas 86-82 on Thursday. However just four-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But Valencia Basket won third quarter 26-16. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They outrebounded Valencia Basket 34-21 including 23 on the defensive glass. Zalgiris looked well-organized offensively handing out 25 assists. Quite impressive performance for Canadian-Slovenian point guard Kevin Pangos (188-93, college: Gonzaga) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 11 points and 15 assists. French swingman Axel Toupane (197-92, agency: BeoBasket) contributed with 18 points for the winners. Five Zalgiris players scored in double figures. American-Georgian Will Thomas (203-86, agency: Two Points) answered with 19 points and German center Tibor Pleiss (217-89) added 20 points (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) in the effort for Valencia Basket. Both coaches allowed to play bench players in such tough game. Defending Lithuanian champion moved-up to fourth place, which they share with Real Madrid and Panathinaikos. Defending Spanish champion Valencia Basket keeps the fourteenth position with 13 games lost. Zalgiris will face Panathinaikos (#5) in Athens in the next round. Valencia Basket will play at home against Khimki (#7) and hope to win that game.
