Zalgiris gets stuck in CSKA defense 20

Zalgiris Kaunas didn’t have antidote for CSKA Moscow’s dominant defense and lost 51-73 on Friday night at the Zalgirio Arena.

CSKA won its fourth straight game, improving to a 9-5 record and a share of third place. Zalgiris had its three-game home winning streak snapped, dropping to 3-11.

Nikola Milutinov paced CSKA with a double-double of 19 points plus 12 rebounds, while Alexey Shved scored 17 points in the winning effort.

For Zalgiris, which was held to a club-record low of 51 points in a EuroLeague home game, Josh Nebo was the only double-digit scorer, with 11 points, and added 7 rebounds.

Arturas Milaknis downed a triple and Nebo skied for a dunk for Zalgiris while Milutinov score twice inside to help CSKA take a 7-8 lead. Iffe Lundberg and Milaknis traded three-pointers while Shved scored 6 points, including a triple, to push the difference to 14-19. Regimantas Miniotas helped the hosts get within 18-19 after 10 minutes and Tyler Cavanaugh hit a jumper at the start of the second quarter, but a baseline jumper and a triple from Will Clyburn opened a new 20-29 margin for CSKA. Zalgiris responded after a timeout with a dunk from Nebo and triples by Lukas Lekavicius and Milaknis to get within 28-29 with 2:25 left in the first half. CSKA stopped the bleeding with a timeout, but the only point for the remainder of the quarter was a Marius Grigonis free throw that set a halftime score at 28-30.

CSKA scored the first 7 points after the break with Shved sinking a triple and racing for a fastbreak dunk. Mantas Kalnietis and Nikita Kurbanov traded triples before Daniel Hackett’s runner for CSKA made it 33-44 midway through the third quarter. A long-range dagger from Lundberg pushed the lead to 35-49. Lekavicius hit a tough basket, but Milutinov’s dunk and Clyburn’s driving layup through a crowd left the visitors up 39-57 after 30 minutes.

CSKA went scoreless for more than 4 minutes to open the fourth quarter, but all Zalgiris managed during that time was baskets from Nebo and Edgaras Ulanovas that cut the difference to 45-57. CSKA could not score a field goal, but got to the free throw line for the game’s next 5 points. Shved’s long jumper with 3:40 to go was his team’s first field goal in the final quarter, but enough to open a 48-64 lead and ice the game before Milutinov’s baskets in the final minutes broke the 20-point margin.

    nebuvo tokios tragiskos rungtynes, kaip atrodo ziurimt i rezultata. Teisejai tikrai nubaude Zalgiri 10 tasku, pvz skyre bauda Kalnieciui pries Sveda, o turejo skirti Svedui. Nesportines bent vienos neskyre ICSKA, dar keliu akivaiizdziai neteisingu sprendimu neminesiu. O del likusiu tasku patys kalti. Kam bauduoti tritaski metanti varzova ? O klaidu kiek privele patys. Atrode kaip is medzio iskrite.

    Viskas cia normaliai, tiesiog tokia sio sezono realybe. Tik susidurus su elitinem komandom dar ir dar karta pasimato, kokia vis delto tragiska yra komplektacija. Blogiausia, kad kitos apatines lentynos komandos ir ypac vidutiniokai pakankamai neblogai kimba i atlapus astuoneto komandoms, todel pakilt is tos paskutines vietos gali ir nelabai pavykt, deja.

  15. ....

    Eilinį kartą išėjo pridėję į kelnias. Tik susitinka su normalesne komanda, kuri bent kažkokią analizę būna padarius ir viskas. Labai lengva, užtenka pas mus porą žaidėjų uždaryt ir žaidimas baigiasi. Ir treneriukas su tais savo keitimais išvis nesuprantamas. Vieni po 4 min. žaidžia, o kiti jau numirę 33 min. laksto. Nevaldo komandos visiškai.

  16. Be ugnies

    Strielnieka Pametusi Zdovca Po Cska marso per Kauno apeme dviprasmiska nuotaika
