Even although Zalgiris Kaunas trailed by as a lot as 15 factors (40-25) in the second quarter, they managed to stage a comeback against Virtus Bologna, securing their first victory of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Regular Season with an 82-79 win over the Italian staff.
Keenan Evans, making his first EuroLeague look since injuring his Achilles tendon on January 5 against Fenerbahce, demonstrated his health by delivering a formidable efficiency with 25 factors and 4 rebounds.
The staff’s captain, Edgaras Ulanovas, additionally made helpful contributions with 11 factors, 4 rebounds, and three assists.
“We won against a strong team like Virtus Bologna, which is an experienced team. It’s hard to play here against these fans, in the second part we played with more trust in each other and fought until the end,” Kazys Maksvytis commented in the post-game press convention.
“I’m very happy for Keenan [Evans], he had a sad end of the season last year. From the first day, he was very professional, he deserved a comeback like this.”
