Regular Season Round 20: Juventus - Zalgiris 80-98
Date: January 27, 2019
Very expected game in Utena where 6th ranked Juventus (8-13) was defeated by first ranked Zalgiris (18-2) 98-80 on Sunday. The guests trailed by 1 point at the halftime before their 56-37 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Zalgiris made 27-of-33 free shots (81.8 percent) during the game, while Juventus only scored eleven points from the stripe. Zalgiris looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. Juventus was plagued by 26 personal fouls down the stretch. The best player for the winners was American guard Thomas Walkup (193-92, college: SF Austin) who scored 14 points and 6 assists. The other American import forward Deon Thompson (203-88, college: N.Carolina, agency: BeoBasket) chipped in 16 points and 5 rebounds. Four Zalgiris players scored in double figures. Center Karolis Guscikas (205-92, agency: Octagon Europe) produced 17 points and 7 rebounds and guard Dovis Bickauskis (191-93, agency: Octagon Europe) added 14 points and 5 assists respectively for the hosts. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Zalgiris have a solid three-game winning streak. Defending champion maintains first position with 18-2 record. Juventus at the other side keeps the sixth place with 13 games lost. Zalgiris will face Prienu Skycop (#7) in Prienai in the next round where they are favorite. Juventus will play on the road against Rytas in Vilnius and hope to win that game.
