Anadolu Efes<\/strong> beat Zalgiris<\/strong> 92-82 to finish the double-round week with two wins, keeping their positive momentum after earlier back-to-back victories in other stretches against Bayern Munich and Barcelona. Coming in with confidence after Valencia, Efes knocked down 16 threes<\/strong> and generated 24 assists<\/strong>, consistently finding offense.<\/p>\n

Efes started scorching hot, opening 5\/5 from deep and leading 17-12 at the five-minute mark, then closing the first quarter up 25-24 on 7\/9 three-point shooting. Defense kept it from breaking open: Zalgiris climbed back and briefly moved ahead through Tubelis\u2019 post work (41-39), but Efes still held a 47-45 halftime lead, with Weiler-Babb on 10 and both Loyd and Dozier on 11.<\/p>\n

The third quarter swung again as Osmani helped Efes stretch it to 55-45, only for Zalgiris to surge when Efes couldn\u2019t convert against the zone, turning it into a 67-65 Zalgiris edge heading to the last 10 minutes. Efes opened the fourth with maximum energy, cut out easy baskets and flipped it to 76-71 with six minutes left, before Tubelis\u2019 three made it 78-77 for Zalgiris. Saben Lee\u2019s isolations pushed Efes back in front (83-82 with 2:18 left), and Jordan Loyd<\/strong> buried his fourth triple with 42 seconds remaining to land the key blow at 86-82, setting up the closing stretch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
