Regular Season Round 19: Zalgiris - Juventus 84-81

Date: March 2, 2025
Fourth-ranked Juventus (10-9) was very close to win a game against first ranked Zalgiris (17-2) in Kaunas on Sunday. Zalgiris managed to secure only three-point victory 84-81. However their fans expected easier game. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Juventus. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Zalgiris made 8 blocks. Worth to mention a great performance of Serbian power forward Alen Smailagic (208-2000) who helped to win the game recording 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 blocks. French point guard Sylvain Francisco (185-1997) contributed with 11 points and 7 assists for the winners. International Laurynas Beliauskas (194-1997) answered with 21 points and 4 assists and American forward Dominic Green (198-1997, college: Washington) added 17 points and 5 rebounds in the effort for Juventus. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Zalgiris have an impressive series of thirteen victories in a row. They maintain first place with 17-2 record. Juventus at the other side keeps the fourth position with nine games lost. Zalgiris are looking forward to face league's second-placed Rytas in Vilnius in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Juventus will play at home against Lietkabelis and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
