The defeat series of the Lithuanians on the international stage has already existed seven games in a row, causing them to slip to the penultimate place. In the domestic league, however, Zalgiris Kaunas is the undisputed leader with a record of 14-0 victories. A place in the top eight is now a long way off, as they are four wins behind and the first half of the season is almost over. Due to the lack of competition in Lithuania, the leap in quality from everyday league to Euroleague is of course enormous. This could be one of the reasons for the moderate performance. Head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius has to go without ex-albatross Marius Grigonis due to a foot injury.
The current top of the table is one of the top favorites in the competition. Head Coach Ergin Ataman and his team have been unbeaten in 14 games across all competitions and of course want to continue this series tomorrow. Most recently they were able to put the arch-rival Fenerbahce in their place twice (81-73 at Fenerbahce in the Euroleague and last weekend at home with 79-66) and thus greet each other from the top in both tournaments. Anadolu Efes has a very deep and balanced squad around the brilliant point guard Shane Larkin, who scored 49 points against Munich. Bryant Dunston was missing the last six games due to injury and there is still a question mark behind his commitment tomorrow.
