Zalgiris takes care of business at home against Juventus 3

After a one-sided affair in Zalgirio Arena, the Zalgiris secured its fourth victory in the Betsafe-LKL championship. The green-and-whites took care of business at home with a 84-63 victory over Juventus Utena.

Augustine Rubit was not registered for the game, as Marek Blazevic took his place and recorded his first minutes with a Zalgiris jersey in an official game.
