Zalgiris starts off season with win in Klaipeda 6

Zalgiris Kaunas began the 2022-2023 Betsafe-LKL campaign victoriously. The green-and-whites defeated Neptunas in Klaipėda 79-71 in their season opener.

The game was tightly matched early on, as the two sides traded baskets in the first quarter for a 20-18 Zalgiris lead. The visitors managed to shoot up by double-digits with some solid play from their frontcourt, and headed into the second half with a tangible lead.

While Neptunas managed to battle back to cut the margin to within a couple of baskets, but the men in green-and-white managed to retain composure, made their free-throws and took the season’s first official victory, 79-71.

Zalgiris was led by Kevarrius Hayes, who had 14 points and 8 boards. Ignas Brazdeikis neared a double-double with 13 points and 9 rebounds, while Keenan Evans finished the game with 12 and 6. Tyler Cavanaugh also ended the game in double-digit scoring with 11 to his name.
