Match Preview
The LKL Finals get underway in Kaunas as regular-season dominators Zalgiris take on surprise package Juventus. The hosts have barely put a foot wrong all season, while Juventus have already exceeded expectations with a remarkable playoff run.
Zalgiris Eyeing Another Domestic Title
Zalgiris Kaunas have been the strongest side in the Lithuanian LKL this season, finishing top of the standings with an outstanding 31-1 record and once again establishing themselves as the main title favorites.
The Green and Whites had zero problems in the LKL quarterfinal series against Jonava, claiming two convincing victories, 102-82 at home and 90-75 on the road. Sylvain Francisco was the top performer here with 26 points total.
They didn’t drop a single match in the semifinal series against Lietkabelis either, winning 3-0. In the most recent clash, Zalgiris claimed a 103-93 victory in front of the home crowd. Moses Wright was the top scorer with 25 points, while Azuolas Tubelis earned man of the match honours with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
Juventus Continuing Their Dream Run
Juventus are without a doubt the biggest surprise package of the LKL Playoffs after finishing the regular season in a modest 7th place with a 12-20 record.
They caused a massive upset in the quarterfinals by eliminating 2nd-placed Rytas, opening the series with a 92-84 home victory before finishing the job on the road with a 101-95 win thanks to excellent shooting percentages.
Juventus were once again underestimated in the semifinals against Neptunas, who had a much better regular-season record. They advanced to the grand finals in just four games, the deciding clash ending in a 103-90 home victory. Lukas Uleckas led the way with 21 points, six assists and five rebounds.
