Zalgiris – Red Star 103-98: With a win in extra time, Paulius Giankounas left the EuroLeague

Sunday night (3/4) was the night of Paulius Giankounas. Zalgiris welcomed the Red Star (103-98) for the postponed game of EuroLeague’s 21st game, but the result was of little consequence. All eyes were on the Lithuanian basketball player, who played most recently in the tournament, to bow out as third in standings, seventh goalscorer, first rebounder, first participant (392), second in minutes, eighth in baskets and fifth in goals scored. .

In the match, Zalgiris rose to 8-20 in the final of his own regular season, Panathinaikos to 8-18, and Villeurbanne to 8-19. The Red Star fell to 11-16 while its players were criticized ahead of the game’s scrum for not holding the Stop The War banner, which references the war in Ukraine. Tyler Cavanaugh’s three-pointer sent the game into overtime and there the Yankunas – Ulanovas fired a great shot to clear the game to idolize the first in his last appearance in an event he left his mark on for nearly two decades would have.
