Zalgiris has been through thick and thin this season, though with a great run in the last few games, the Lithuanians got on the playoffs train after their 2018 success that led them to the Final Four.
The cherry on top was their spectacular victory against reigning champions Real Madrid on the road, that made coach Jasikevicius emotional at the end of the game.
Saras was really expressive in his post-game quotes, that perfectly described his feeling at that time.
“Congratulations to my players, to our organization and the city of Kaunas for a big accomplishment for our team. I have to give credit to the character of my players who never gave up and believed in what we are trying to do here. And as you can understand, the playoffs for us is a big accomplishment. We will go celebrate tonight, at the same time we have to forget about it as quickly as possible and prepare for the best team in Europe.”
