Zalgiris Kaunas traveled to Istanbul to win a game before returning to Lithuania. Having failed in Game 1, the Lithuanians now find themselves forced to win this Thursday in Game 2. Despite defeating the Turks twice during the regular season, Sylvain Francisco’s teammates were unfortunately unable to compete in Tuesday’s Game 1 amid the hellish atmosphere at Ulker Spor. Trailing by 18 points at halftime, Zalgiris was never able to turn the tide, due to a 3-point shooting performance (5/22) that proved too costly, ultimately losing 89-78. A flattering score, ultimately, given the Turks’ dominance, and a clear conclusion: Kaunas was unable to establish the brilliant offensive game it had displayed throughout the season.
Conversely, Fenerbahçe significantly raised its level of play right from this first game. Coming off a negative run at the end of the regular season (8 losses in 10 games), the reigning European champion stepped up its aggression and intensity. Ultimately, anything but a surprise for a very experienced team. Under the guidance of Sarunas Jasikevicius, Fener showcased its accuracy near the basket (26-of-41 on two-pointers), particularly led by the duo of Baldwin (17 pts) and Horton-Tucker (15 pts), who were invaluable in transition and from the perimeter. Spurred on by its passionate home crowd, Fenerbahçe will look to extend its lead before heading to Lithuania. Determined to return to the Final Four, the Turkish club has no intention of letting this opportunity slip away.
