Sharpshooter Lukosiunas leads Zalgiris past Khimki 7

Zalgiris took another step in preparations for the upcoming season, defeating Rimas Kurtinaitis-admiraled Khimki Moscow region 85-71 (19-9; 27-31; 22-19; 17-12).

Zalgiris got off to a good start, as a group effort had them sitting comfortably on a double-digit lead after the opening quarter. Karolis Lukosiunas turned on heat-check mode in the second quarter, as he propelled Zalgiris offense with 4-of-4 shooting from downtown, as Khimki started breathing down Zalgiris’ necks.

Lukosiunas added two more threes to the tally, making him a perfect 6-of-6 for the game, as Zalgiris lead saw a rise to 20. Rimas Kurtinaitis’ men managed to cut the margin down, but it was never a threat to Zalgiris.
