Zalgiris is the hottest team in Euroleague at this moment winning the last four games. Tonight they played well enough to extend Valencia‘s losing streak to ten games, but Zalgiris coach Sarunas Jasikevicus doesn’t lose his ground.
“It was a very good win for us and every win on the road is an amazing. We faced the team that needed to win, a team that was under the pressure, but we won the game. I needed to convince my players not to step down and play in full contact. We are in a good position, but in this, Euroleague with double games, things can change very fast“, said Jasikevicus.
Txus Vidorreta didn’t lack words to praise Zalgiris and their coach: “Zalgiris is a top team in Euroleague this season. They beat Fenerbache, Panathinaikos, Barcelona and other big teams. It has a lot with Jasikevicus as they played well last season, but this season they are one of the top teams of Euroleague. Our defense was great, maybe not whole 40 minutes, but most of the time. We believed in victory the whole time, but we couldn’t do more”
