As a precaution, Tyrique Jones sat out after an injury in the Semifinals against Bertram Derthona Tortona.

Shavon Shields tallied 22 points, including three triples, Zach LeDay added 16 points, and Nikola Mirotic put in six of his 13 points in the fourth quarter. For the losing side, Khadeen Carrington scored 14 points and Chris Johnson followed with 13 points.

Before a trip to Turkiye for the Gloria Cup, Zalgiris made short work of Sabah, 94-62, in Kaunas. Brady Manek combined 19 points and seven rebounds against the team coached by Rimas Kurtinaitis. The visitors, the first team from Azerbaijan in the Basketball Champions League, moved the training camp to Lithuania in recent days, preparing for the BCL Qualification Rounds.
