Zalgiris rolls into Semifinals victoriously 9
Zalgiris tipped off with the Betsafe-LKL Semifinals victoriously, as they brushed aside Juventus Utena 100-75 to take the 1-0 lead in the series.
The two sides exchanged blows in a high-scoring opening quarter, but neither of them could get the upper hand. Things changed in the second quarter, though, as Zalgiris ran off to a big run in the quarter‘s opening stages, setting themselves up with a double-digit lead.
As the lead grew to a whopping 19 points before the break, it seemed to be a done deal merely halfway into the game. The green-and-whites didn’t go easy on the gas pedal and rolled to an easy victory, as they increased the margin to 25 before the final buzzer.
Joffrey Lauvergne had 17 points and 6 boards, as Thomas Walkup added another 17 points with 5 assists. Lukas Lekavicius had 14 points, while Paulius Jankunas (8 rebounds) and Karolis Lukosiunas both ended up with 13 points, as Marius Grigonis finished the game with 9 points and 6 dimes.
