Zalgiris puts up late comeback to stun Olympiacos

Lithuanians won 81-79.

An improbable 9-0 run to close out the game in the final 3’11” gives Zalgiris Kaunas their 7th win in the last 9 Euroleague game, bouncing back after two losses in a row. Thomas Walkup’s steal over Sloukas and fastbreak layup with 0.8 seconds to go gave Zalgiris a win which seemed improbable after a clutch 3-pointer by Spanoulis late in the game.

A dominant Lauvergne led his team in scoring with 21 points and 7 rebounds, with Milaknis adding 11 for the hosts; Olympiacos had 16 points each from Sloukas and Printezis.
