Zalgiris - Rytas Vilnius

At home, the Zalgiris team should dictate the tempo once again. Zalgiris is one of the slower defensive teams, and without Evans their offense seems to be weakly stated. There is a lot of breakdowns and individual play from Lekavicius, as Giedraitis, who usually has more defensive duties, becomes a crucial figure on offense. When players like these are leading the team, it can be boldly stated that they are not playing well offensively. However, the weapon that Zalgiris possesses and must exploit is their strong defense. In potentially decisive series matches, it would be foolish to rely on Eastern-style basketball, even under pressure.
