The game was tight in the first half, but in the second Real Madrid beat easily Zalgiris (88-71) thanks to Rudy and Nocioni. Sarunas Jasikevicius was honored bas a Euroleague legend.
Felipe Reyes was amazing once again counting in the first half 15 points, but the turning point of the game, was when the Madridistas started playing excellent defense. Rudy Fernandez (17p., 3 as.) stepped up and alongside with Andres Nocioni (15 p., 6 reb.) led their team to a crucial victory on road.
Of course, the moment of the game was before the tip off, when Sarunas Jasikevicius was honored as a Euroleague legend. The Lithuanian star retired last summer and started a new career as an assistant coach next to Krapikas with Zalgiris.
