UNICS head coach Velimir Perasovich summed up the results of the Euroleague match against Zalgiris (76:67).
“Our opponent only managed to score 28 points in the second half of the game as we became more focused defensively. I think defensive play should always be a priority. I’m glad that today we managed to defend reliably for most of the game, with the exception of the first quarter.
Winning is always very important. When you lose, it’s not cool, even if you play well. We are still in the playoff race. At the start of the second round, we had some very difficult games, and now our task is to win on the home court and try to beat the rivals on the road, ”the club’s official website quoted Perasovich as saying.
UNICS ranks sixth in the Euroleague standings. The team will play the next match in the tournament on February 11 against Crvena Zvezda.
