Zalgiris almost commited suicide but with three seconds left James Anderson with a goal foul save the Lithuanians, gave them the 80-79 win over Sassari and the ticket to Top16. Also Crvena Zvezda got the win over Laboral Kutxa and the second place in Group D.

In Kaunas, after a good first half by the hosts (49-37), Sassari came back in the third quarter which ended with Zalgiris leading by two (62-60) and even build a nine points lead (77-68) with three minutes left. But the end was all Zalgiris and all Anderson who finished the game with 26 points. After this result, Unics Kazan will continue its season in Eurocup.

In Belgrade Marcus Williams was unstoppable (23 p., 8 as.) and led Crvena Zvezda in an empty gym because of the club’s punishment to the 90-82 win over Laboral Kutxa. The hosts got the lead in the 25th minute and they never lost it again, despite the constant pressure of the guests who never trailed by more than eight points until the last 42 seconds, when the Serbs got a 90-80 lead.
